“McCowan changed the game” | Ross County 1-2 Celtic | Match Reaction

Hamish and John give their thoughts on Celtic's late victory over Ross County that kept the 100% Premiership record going.

This is the type of game McCowan thrives, been there, seen it, done it.
Remember young Engels played for a mid table team not used to the demands of winning every week, he will grow.

Salutations from Spain. Thanks for all the coverage Hamish! Have a pint/coffee on me❤

A lesson in how to shut down space? Ross County stopped us playing through the middle, reducing chances in on goal. In the first half Celtic had zero shots on goal and few off-target attempts on goal. It wasn't poor finishing, in the 1st half. We just didn't have any chances to finish.

The 5 subs rule really does benefit us (and all big clubs in their domestic leagues)

Against St Johnstone we brought on Idah, Hatate, Forrest, McCowan, Valle

Yesterday against Ross County we brought on Kyogo, Bernardo, Forrest, McCowan

Being able to bring on that level of replacement against tiring opponents in the final 20-30 mins of games, is a massive advantage for us

McCowan and Bernardo were brilliant when they came on. Bernardo really got stuck in and grabbed the game by the scruff. Plenty of dig from the subs which was great. Could easily have been one of those days. Another big 3 points. I hate international breaks but this is a great time to regroup, reset and process Dortmund game and prepare for next set of fixtures. Great result for Aberdeen as well, R*ngers fans but be raging as they had hope both would drop points 🤣

We needed that win going into the break we made it hard for ourselves but the subs turned it round again..cheers Hamish☘️👍🏻

Aberdeen won their 1st 8 games in the 2015/16 season. Looking forward to the game now. I haven’t seen much of them either.

[Footballfan]

I know it’s really early in the season and as much as I hate international breaks this one has came at the right time for us.Need a wee break and gather ourselves.Too many players no at it at all.For me Rio hasn’t been on it for a while.As per when the subs came on they injected a bit of life to the team but ultimately it’s 3 points and we move on.

[craigycraigywhyte]

Mccowan starts for me moving forward drop anyone else in that mid a don’t care tbh!!!!

[francisgreen]

Even tho we went 1 nil down. I never doubted we'd win. The longer the game went on. Celtic pressed better and passed better. I'd like to see some shooting from outside the box.

[michaelgardiner]

Hopefully that game has had an impact on BR to do some of the things RC did in Europe

[JonesyJones-sb]

John as always good on the show but confused why u would bring up turnbull about moods and complaints when comparing mccowan

Surely hatate is the one to look at

He looked like he had no enthusiasm for being there yesterday

Engels poor also but at least tried and showed some battling spirit

We need to see mccowan v aberdeen alongside mcgregor and a fitter engels

[fudroaster]

Watched the Aberdeen v Hearts game. Hearts looked to be the ones more likely to win it before the sending of. Both should give the huns a good game. They wont give Celtic any issue.

[RonnieMcNairney]

I absolutely hate international breaks.
Don't help anyway.
Hail, Hail ☘️ 🍀 ☘️

[HughTrodden-mjbv]

Hi BHOYS, McCowan and Kuhn two rough diamonds, just wait til their polished, and Aston Villa must go and hump themselves DAIZEN MUST STAY ( but I bet Lawell is rubbing his hands already ) .🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[chrisd]

In hindsight that would have scunnered the buns lol at the time I was fearing the worst thi

[johnwatt]

I hope McCowan gets a fair chance at Celtic given he came from Dundee for £1m! I don’t care what Engels cost, every player should play on their merits and not because of their transfer fee! Engels was awful yesterday but he’s still young and has plenty time to improve.Bernardo was better than Tuesday!

[svengalisounds]

7 or 8 times outta 10 the games after europe are a bit difficult (especially away and especially after losing in midweek)

No team plays their best every single game, just doesnt happen. On the days yer not at yer best ye win by hook or crook, job done

[lynchliam]

Celtic in 67 is the best. 11 players from a 30 mile radius of the stadium

[williamhyslop]

All the papers saying BR could learn from County set up, correct me but how many points did they get? My point is EVEN if we try to change in Europe you still get same points for losing 1-0 or 7-1 . Certainly not as bad but BR would get slaughtered for not having a go…
