STRIKES FROM GRANT Munro, Sam Morrow and Stefan Wohlfarth helped Ross County come from behind to beat SPL leaders Celtic 3-2.
The Hoops looked to be coasting to a comfortable win as a stunning strike from Charlie Mulgrew and a Gary Hooper chip had the Parkhead side two goals up at Victoria Park.
The home side made two changes from the line-up that drew the Highland derby at home to Inverness CT last Saturday, with Martin Scott and Stuart Kettlewell replacing Ivan Sproule and the suspended Richard Brittain.
Neil Lennon once again rang the changes from the side that fell to defeat at Juventus, with Efe Ambrose, Rami Gershon, Dylan McGeouch, Miku and Anthony Stokes coming in for Adam Matthews, Emilio Izaguirre, Victor Wanyama, Georgios Samaras and Kris Commons.
With 15 minutes gone, the SPL leaders went into the lead in somewhat bizarre fashion, after Grant Munro headed an Ambrose effort out for a corner, which Mulgrew took and whipped straight over keeper Michael Fraser and into the net.

The pressure continued from the visitors, with Miku making his way through the middle of the Ross County defence, but this time Fraser was on hand in to save easily.
Only six minutes after taking the lead, the Hoops extended their advantage as McGeouch played the ball back to Hooper after making his way down the right and the English striker finished off the move by chipping Fraser for Celtic’s second.
Just after the half-hour mark, Ross County got into the game, as Kelvin Wilson could only clear the ball into the path of Munro and the defender unleashed a strike past Forster and into the back of the net.
And with 10 minutes left in the first half the hosts were level as Iain Vigurs swung a cross in for Morrow and after his first attempt was blocked, the striker made no mistake, firing the ball into the net.
On the stroke of half-time Celtic had a chance to regain the lead, but Stokes failed to make anything of the chance as both teams went in level at the break.
Both sides exchanged free kick efforts in the opening five minutes of the second half – Mulgrew for Celtic, Vigurs for Ross – but on both occasions the players saw their strikes sail wide of goal.
Celtic almost handed their hosts the lead as Ambrose failed to clear properly and that allowed Scott in on goal, but Forster came to the rescue, saving his centre half’s blushes as he came out to collect the ball.
In the final 10 minutes, Ross had a chance to claim all three points as substitute Wohlfarth had an effort at goal, but unfortunately for the side it sailed wide.
As the game entered injury time a defensive lapse from Wilson gave Wohlfarth a chance at redemption, and he duly tucked away the match-winning header to the delight of the home fans.
In other results, St Johnstone wrapped up a 2-0 home win over Kilmarnock, with Murray Davidson and Gregory Tade the goalscorers.
Dundee were denied a win at home by an 83rd-minute equaliser from Inverness’ Billy McKay in a 1-1 result, while Aberdeen and St Mirren were held to home 0-0 draws by Motherwell and Dundee United respectively.
he puts manu rightly in the league of big clubs, powerful clubs, clubs today who can arrest decline before it sets in and goes on for 26 years
i saw the interview. communication is so much more than the spoken word. he was direct but he was not taking a swipe. being a scouse must mean you assume everyone wants to take a swipe at you.
Basically he’s saying that Utd have the money and in order to compete at the very highest level you need to spend it (occasionally a Leicester will come along and do it on the cheap or the team produce a home grown crop of talent a la Man Utd in the mid 90′s). If you want to have the best at anything you have to pay top dollar. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea, Man City & Man Utd all compete at the highest level by using their resources (money) to make themselves better. Its the way of the world, the haves versus the have nots. Read this bit again as it summarises succinctly what he is saying:
“I know the discussion, I understand that, sometimes in football, things happen and the club breaks the record, but this is only possible at clubs like Man United.
“When I heard some of the comments and heard some of the managers criticising that, I don’t think they ever have this problem because, to have this problem, you need to be at one of the top clubs in the world. So at Man United it can happen.”
Only Real, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have won the European cup in recent times with that cash! United are delighted to win the FA cup after spending quarter of a billion sterling.
So we just ignore the likes of Leicester and to a lesser degree atletico Madrid, Dortmund etc. Them boys spend nowhere near their rivals and continually compete with them non the less
Did it at Porto and Chelsea were unproven when he took them over, even if he was given a blank chequebook. His achievements at Inter were also considerable.
He took over an successful Inter, from there parked the bus, did win CL, fair play to him, but he did leave them in a mess, much like Chelsea. Funny watching you lot defend him like crazy, 9 months ago, you were all manically twisting that knife…. great fans…
I don’t support a premier league club but if I was a Man U fan I would be seriously happy at this signing.
Forget the money, that makes little difference to a club of this size.
Forget the past and what they let him go for, again that doesn’t matter a jot in 2016.
What Man U have got here is a big, extremely athletic midfielder with a great touch and an eye for goal.
He’s also still a young fella with a lot of room to improve.
Pogba would realistically walk into any team in the world and there’s very few players in the EPL you can say that about
So two managers gives their opinions on what another club does with their spare cash, after one buying nothing again and other buying some the worst overpriced players he could find and when Jose tells them to fup off there’s outrage……. well ok.
Both managers are on 50 million contacts + agent fees + imagine rights but I notice that wasn’t brought up at all when talking about the inflated market.
Klopp a aside, the amount of money liverpool have wasted on absolute wasters is disturbing and wenger spends nothing so Arsenal are just all about the money as they have given up on winning, 4th is the target every year.
Lucky escape? breaking news here, were Barca in for him, tell us more. All top players on the world scene would obviously prefer to win the FA cup over the champions league.
i guess they have good reason to complain. it must kill the scouse that the closest they have come to premier league title is when king kenny was at Ewood Park or that on 15 occasions the thing they covet so much was in a cabinet 30 miles down the road. or that between club and manager the manu set up has won it 16 times in that time,
Manchester United has won record 13 titles under Sir Alex Ferguson since 1992 and there have been only 4 other teams in last 23 years to win league title with Chelsea winning 4, Arsenal 3, City 2 and Blackburn Rovers solitary success in 1994-95
Did association football begin in 1992, man United fans love to bleat on about their premier league titles and how Liverpool have never won the premier league. It’s like their record before football was invented in 1992 doesn’t exist. Bunch of intolerable ass holes
I absolutely love how obsessed and outraged opposition fans are with Jose, united and their transfer business. A great sign for me that the fear is setting back in. I never liked Jose’s personality, still don’t, but he has a record of winning things and I’ll take that. Yes Zlatan is old and Miki is in his prime but Bailly and Pogba are young along with a lot of the squad so I can see some future planning there.

I’m sorry Jose, i’ll only rate you when you join a club and don’t require several hundred million immediately for players.
I love Jose and the circus and controversy he brings to a club.thankfully he hasn’t changed
spend is relative
he puts manu rightly in the league of big clubs, powerful clubs, clubs today who can arrest decline before it sets in and goes on for 26 years
i saw the interview. communication is so much more than the spoken word. he was direct but he was not taking a swipe. being a scouse must mean you assume everyone wants to take a swipe at you.
As you take a swipe yourself
nah, gave that up a long time ago. just stating facts now.
Porto??
Basically he’s saying that Utd have the money and in order to compete at the very highest level you need to spend it (occasionally a Leicester will come along and do it on the cheap or the team produce a home grown crop of talent a la Man Utd in the mid 90′s). If you want to have the best at anything you have to pay top dollar. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea, Man City & Man Utd all compete at the highest level by using their resources (money) to make themselves better. Its the way of the world, the haves versus the have nots. Read this bit again as it summarises succinctly what he is saying:
“I know the discussion, I understand that, sometimes in football, things happen and the club breaks the record, but this is only possible at clubs like Man United.
“When I heard some of the comments and heard some of the managers criticising that, I don’t think they ever have this problem because, to have this problem, you need to be at one of the top clubs in the world. So at Man United it can happen.”
its worth looking at
http://www.newstalk.com/WATCH:-Jose-Mourinho-on-Pogba-and-a-proactive-transfer-window-for-Manchester-United
Only Real, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have won the European cup in recent times with that cash! United are delighted to win the FA cup after spending quarter of a billion sterling.
So we just ignore the likes of Leicester and to a lesser degree atletico Madrid, Dortmund etc. Them boys spend nowhere near their rivals and continually compete with them non the less
Not a big fan of Jose, but didn’t he do that at Porto Del?
Not since then
He did it with inter milan
Did it at Porto and Chelsea were unproven when he took them over, even if he was given a blank chequebook. His achievements at Inter were also considerable.
He did leave Inter in a downward spiral, alienated many players…
He’s spent more on transfers than any manager in history
That’s not counting Utd
Left inter as European champions I guess it can only be downhill from there..
He took over an successful Inter, from there parked the bus, did win CL, fair play to him, but he did leave them in a mess, much like Chelsea. Funny watching you lot defend him like crazy, 9 months ago, you were all manically twisting that knife…. great fans…
He left after winning a treble with inter it was Rafa who fcked it up when he took over so try harder next time lad
What about Chelsea then mark
that was just pay back and pay out time for prior grievances
They hated him when he left, same at Madrid, same at Chelsea, he destroys. But, at the right club for him I guess.
What about them
Poor mark
Inter were the highest spending club in Europe under him.
Still a great manager by his current record & at his age, possibly has his best years ahead of him.
I don’t support a premier league club but if I was a Man U fan I would be seriously happy at this signing.
Forget the money, that makes little difference to a club of this size.
Forget the past and what they let him go for, again that doesn’t matter a jot in 2016.
What Man U have got here is a big, extremely athletic midfielder with a great touch and an eye for goal.
He’s also still a young fella with a lot of room to improve.
Pogba would realistically walk into any team in the world and there’s very few players in the EPL you can say that about
Spot on Aaron!
So you are a fan ?
Celtic and Cork City and then any of the Irish players individually playing in the EPL just no club itself John
Ok so man utd let pogba go for 1·5 million then buy him back for 89 million and this makes sence how ,,,, yup big club all right , big nd stupid
Mourinho does not know the meaning of the word ethical…let’s watch him spit the dummy soon…horrible creature
So two managers gives their opinions on what another club does with their spare cash, after one buying nothing again and other buying some the worst overpriced players he could find and when Jose tells them to fup off there’s outrage……. well ok.
Pogba cost 90 million after he was sold for 800,000 that’s about as overpriced as you get.
Both managers are on 50 million contacts + agent fees + imagine rights but I notice that wasn’t brought up at all when talking about the inflated market.
Klopp a aside, the amount of money liverpool have wasted on absolute wasters is disturbing and wenger spends nothing so Arsenal are just all about the money as they have given up on winning, 4th is the target every year.
There is’nt a team anywhere in Europe that Pogba wouldn’t improve
Where would he fit in the Barcelona team?
In midfield!
LOL
That is a bit general, whereabouts in the midfield or would you play him there on his lonesome?
Midfield General
Have you run this general lark by Jose or Zlatan #egofit
Thought I’d check with you first,do you think it would work?!!!
Thank you, how considerate. Time will tell but no i don’t think he would work in the Barcelona midfield.
Your right,he’s awful,probably wouldn’t get a game with the Balscadden Blues either,I guess Barcelona had a lucky escape!
Lucky escape? breaking news here, were Barca in for him, tell us more. All top players on the world scene would obviously prefer to win the FA cup over the champions league.
You do realise the Barcelona scenario came from you or is that also breaking news to you!
Is this the same scenario regarding Barcelona where you still did not really answer my question allowing for the fact that Pogba plays “midfield”
Attacking or defensive midfielder, now go to sleep or Santa will bring you a big bag of ashes for Christmas!
A very decisive answer. Night night pet if I can sleep now that you have put santa into play.
Weirdo
Who Pogba, Mourinho, Santa or have you got the selfie stick out?
I replied to your account,work it out!
Nighty night again Simple Simon, I will let you have the last word.
Whoooo!!
Generals don’t go missing in big games!
If people judge pep guardiola as a failure when he doesn’t win the champions league should we judge mourinho at the same level?
with the squad he inherited and what he has added then Jose will be a much bigger failure if he doesn’t deliver big over three years
“Mourinho says something provocative shocker”
Mourhino just oozes class…
i guess they have good reason to complain. it must kill the scouse that the closest they have come to premier league title is when king kenny was at Ewood Park or that on 15 occasions the thing they covet so much was in a cabinet 30 miles down the road. or that between club and manager the manu set up has won it 16 times in that time,
Manchester United has won record 13 titles under Sir Alex Ferguson since 1992 and there have been only 4 other teams in last 23 years to win league title with Chelsea winning 4, Arsenal 3, City 2 and Blackburn Rovers solitary success in 1994-95
Aw, would you look at that. A statistician. How cute.
like i said, facts, not a swipe
Ah poor del
Cannot deny Fergies record, but funny to see Man Utd fans now talking about the past….. And worshipping Jose….. what a bunch of whoring tramps….
Did association football begin in 1992, man United fans love to bleat on about their premier league titles and how Liverpool have never won the premier league. It’s like their record before football was invented in 1992 doesn’t exist. Bunch of intolerable ass holes
Poor Gerry , why not go and rub your special spot
It’s grand I get more satisfaction rubbing your oul ones
I absolutely love how obsessed and outraged opposition fans are with Jose, united and their transfer business. A great sign for me that the fear is setting back in. I never liked Jose’s personality, still don’t, but he has a record of winning things and I’ll take that. Yes Zlatan is old and Miki is in his prime but Bailly and Pogba are young along with a lot of the squad so I can see some future planning there.
and Leicester
What happened?
Guy is a dick, hope he flops at united he needs a big wallet to manage
