Review

George McCluskey again impresses with two goals and Ronnie Glavin is looking in good shape for the new season playing in midfield.
Frank Windsor impressed in the Ross County goal. McCluskey hit the bar before scoring his first goal with a diving header from a Dalglish cut back. Celtic's second from Doyle also came from a Dalglish cross.
Ross County held out till 10 minutes from time before McCluskey and Glavin scored to make the score more representative of the game.
