Scottish Premiership: Celtic and Rangers made to work hard for wins (The Guardian)

Moritz Jenz headed a late debut goal as Celtic beat Ross County 3-1 while Alfredo Morelos returned for Rangers to seal their 2-0 win over Kilmarnock.

There was to be an even later twist, however, as May ran on to Ryan McGowan’s header to slide in a cute finish and seal the points. Aberdeen blew St Mirren away 4-1 at Pittodrie after an early red card for the visitors opened the flood gates. Substitute Liel Abada wrapped up a 3-1 win in stoppage-time when he curled home from 18 yards.

Giorgos Giakoumakis has had to spend a large amount of time sitting on the bench. And if Maeda was forced to spend some time on the sidelines, it does feel like the club have enough options at the moment to deal with it.

Ange Postecoglou has expressed satisfaction over his Celtic squad's strength in depth after late call-up Moritz Jenz scored a crucial debut goal against Ross County. The on-loan Lorient centre-back headed home Celtic's second goal in the 84th minute ...

Remember Andrew Gutman? He was the Celtic signing from America who never managed to make a single appearance for the club.

Now 25, the left-back looks set to have a productive career at the top level in his homeland, and if he keeps producing highlight reel stunners such as this one, he might even earn a move back to Europe at some point! Tonight he was only on the pitch for nine minutes, making a comeback from an injury, but still managed to come up with that beauty of an effort, which is now rapidly being shared across social media. The defender eventually made a permanent switch to Atlanta United after a couple of loan moves to teams in the USA, and it’s there he has popped up on the radar tonight.

Celtic player ratings: An eight seals top status - but it's not Moritz ... (The Scotsman)

Moritz Jenz headed a late debut goal as Celtic were again made to work hard in Dingwall as they beat Ross County 3-1.

So much were County clamping down at the back, he took matters into his own hands with a mazy run into the box that almost led to a goal.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou clears up Daizen Maeda concern (67 Hail Hail)

Celtic winger Daizen Maeda picked up a knock towards the end of the first half against Ross County this afternoon.

Jota really came alive on that side of the pitch in the second half today and ultimately set up all three goals. I thought he could make an impact and he did.” Maeda was replaced by Liel Abada at the interval, but the decision wasn’t purely tactical from the manager, with the Japanese talent taking a sore one in the process of trying to score right at the end of the opening period.
