Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "Tomorrow is a very significant day, with the [championship] flag being unfurled.

"I´m really pleased John Keane [honorary chairman] is doing it as he is a great custodian of the club. It signifies what we achieved last year and we are looking forward to it.

"We have some footage of Ross County and prepared the team for that and I am looking for a good home performance from us rather than worrying too much from Ross County and what they´re going they to do."

Ross County midfielder Graham Carey: "Hopefully this season we can do better than [last season] because that should be the bare minimum, especially with the way the club has progressed over the last few years, with the infrastructure, the training ground and the players they've brought in.

"The minimum requirement is to finish in the top six - less than that will be a failure I think.

"Last season, defensively, they were very good. I looked at the stats before I came up and, defensively, they were very impressive.

"I think maybe they could have scored a few more goals and that was probably their downfall last year.

"If we can defend like we did last season and score more goals, we can hopefully improve."
