SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue: VICTORIA PARK STADIUM
ROSS COUNTY 3 CELTIC 2
Scorers: Munro, Morrow, Steffen Wohlfarth; Mulgrew, Hooper
Another new ground visited this time Scotland most northern League club - Ross County of Dingwall just 12 minutes north of Inverness. When Celtic raced into a two nil lead it seemed like it would be great end to a very enjoyable trip however when the home side got a lifeline with only 30 minutes on the clock you sensed that the game was about to take a major twist and before half time it was all square again as County made it 2-2.
The Celtic fans had been in great voice in the first half however their mood changed in the second as they feared the game slipping away and it was no great surprise the County in added on time scored a deserved winner to complete a remarkable fight back.
All in all it was a very enjoyable trip. As you drive towards Dingwall it's hard to imagine a top flight football club exists in the town however all credit to them as it is a great set up with a terrific all seater ground holding 6,200 and featuring a quaint little stand called "The Jubilee Stand".
Everything in Dingwall seems to be within walking distance and the train station is less than a quarter of a mile from the ground with it's own pub in the platform ideal for many football fans.
