Ross County manager Don Cowie is gearing up his team for a monumental showdown this Sunday as they gear up to face Celtic in Dingwall. He is urging his players to view this match as a chance to make history by becoming the first Scottish team to take points off the reigning champions rather than being daunted by the task at hand.
Despite Celtic’s recent 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League, their performance in domestic competitions has been nothing short of impressive. With six wins in six Scottish Premiership matches and a flawless defensive record, they have established themselves as a dominant force in the league.
Cowie is adamant about rejecting the notion of this game being a “free hit” for his team. Instead, he believes that every match is an opportunity for his players to test themselves against one of the top teams in Scotland. He is confident that with the right mindset and performance, they can pose a threat to Brendan Rodgers’ side.
According to the County boss, there is no room for complacency when facing a team like Celtic. He acknowledges the quality of Celtic’s squad, their cohesive style of play, and their ability to find openings all over the pitch. This requires his players to maintain a high level of focus throughout the game.
While Celtic has been prolific in front of goal and solid at the back, Cowie remains optimistic about his team’s chances. He believes in their ability to challenge Celtic, find ways to score, and make an impact on the game. The upcoming match presents an opportunity for Ross County to showcase their skills and push themselves against a formidable opponent.
In the face of such a tough challenge, Cowie stresses the importance of embracing the opportunity and enjoying the experience. He encourages his players to relish the chance to compete against one of the best teams in the league and to approach the game with a positive attitude.
As Ross County prepares to take on Celtic, the team is gearing up for a fierce battle on the field. With Cowie at the helm, they are ready to face the challenge head-on and give their all to secure a positive result. The match promises to be an exciting clash between two teams vying for victory, and Ross County is determined to make their mark.
