Celtic v Ross County odds, tips and a reason to look beyond the nailed on home win

Table-topping Celtic are 1/16 to beat eighth-placed Ross County on Saturday with thepools.com , which means there's no point in punting ... doesn't it?

Not exactly.

Thepools.com offers plenty of markets on the margin of victory - and some looks well worthy of investigation.

Ross County's clashes with the Old Firm since late September have ended in 6-0, 4-0 and 4-1 defeats, the latter a hiding by Celtic at Victoria Park in December.

So after putting three past Kilmarnock on their plastic pitch in midweek Celtic are well capable of covering the -2.75 Asian handicap which is 47/50 .

Both teams have scored in each of Celtic's last five matches, with even bottom-half St Mirren and Kilmarnock getting in on the act, but we wouldn't look to get involved in that market.

Almost two thirds of County's 22 goals this season have come in Dingwall and they are still looking for their first goal since the post-winter break restart.

The first scorer market looks wide open, but Leigh Griffiths has bounced back to scoring form with a vengeance with a strike in each of his post -Christmas appearances and he gets our 14/5 tip .
