Brendan Rodgers’ side left it late but came from behind to clinch a 2-1 win in the Highlands
It wasn't pretty from Celtic in the Highlands, but Nicolas Kuhn was the late hero as they battled from a goal down to clinch a 2-1 win over Ross County.
Hale nearly made it 2-0 shortly after half-time when he saw Schmeichel off his line but his chipped effort from range landed on the roof of the net, to a sigh of relief from the Hoops shotstopper. It had begun to seem like Celtic were sleepwalking to a rare domestic defeat but before all hope was lost, Alistair Johnston came to the rescue.
Adam Idah also started for Kyogo and it should be noted Celtic looked much brighter and sharper when the strikers were swapped on the hour mark, and it was his run across the keeper that made space for Alistair Johnston's equaliser. Rotation, enforced or otherwise, wasn't good for Celtic in the Highlands - but when you've got Kyogo and co to call upon from the bench, your subs can get you out of jail.
