Brendan Rodgers Warns Celtic Players of Ross County Danger Man Ronan Hale
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has identified Ross County striker Ronan Hale as a key threat ahead of their Scottish Premiership clash on Sunday.
Rodgers praised Hale’s impressive start to life in Scotland, scoring three goals in seven games since joining from Cliftonville. The Celtic boss expects Hale to be motivated to shine against the Hoops.
“We’ve seen them play, obviously, in the sort of 3-5-2 structure. From the build-up, it’ll go directly up to the strikers. Young Ronan Hale has done really well coming in from Cliftonville, scored three goals in seven games, and he’ll have an enthusiasm to play against Celtic, I’m sure,” Rodgers said.
Celtic will be without Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor due to injury, but Rodgers remains confident in his team’s ability to overcome Ross County.
History favors Celtic, with 11 consecutive wins against Ross County, including all meetings last season.
