CELTIC travel to the Highlands this afternoon looking to re-establish their six-point lead at the top of the table and move a step closer to sealing the Premiership title.
Rangers' 3-1 win over Motherwell yesterday cut the gap to three points and it is now down to Ange Postecoglou and his players to respond.
The Celtic boss has named his line-up for this afternoon's clash with Ross County and has made three changes from the side that lost last weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final clash.
Joe Hart holds onto his place between the sticks, as you'd expect, while Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt will form a central defensive partnership.
Greg Taylor and Anthony Ralston will start on either side of the defence, while Postecoglou has opted for a midfield trio of Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and Matt O'Riley as Tom Rogic drops to the bench.

Daizen Maeda and Jota have been given the nod and will start on the wings as Liel Abada settles for a spot on the bench, while Japanese forward Kyogo Furuhashi comes into the starting XI.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
