Celtic v Ross County live stream, Premier Sports, Sunday 29 November, 2pm GMT

Celtic will turn their attention to the Scottish League Cup this weekend after their Premiership title bid hit another snag last time out.

Neil Lennon was highly critical of his players following the 2-2 draw with Hibernian last weekend. The Bhoys boss questioned his charges’ hunger after the reigning champions required two late goals to rescue a point at Easter Road, with Celtic now 11 points behind Rangers at the top of the table. Lennon’s side have been guilty of inconsistency so far this term and he will demand a response when Ross County visit Parkhead this weekend.

Rangers’ relentlessness has given rise to hopes in the blue half of Glasgow that a first title since 2011 is on the horizon. Steven Gerrard’s side have been magnificent at the start of this campaign, winning 13 and drawing two of their first 15 encounters. Rangers have scored 41 goals and conceded only three, and Celtic will be feeling the pressure despite having two games in hand on their eternal rivals. This weekend, at least, they can focus on another competition.

Ross County head into this fixture in rotten form, having failed to win any of their last seven Premiership fixtures. Their last four away games in the top flight have all ended in defeat, and Stuart Kettlewell will not be under any illusions about the size of the task confronting his team despite Celtic’s own struggles of late. However, Ross County will draw optimism from the fact they have saved their best performances for the League Cup so far this season.

Christopher Jullien is available for selection once again in what will be a major boost to Celtic’s defence. Shane Duffy is likely to make way for Jullien in the starting XI, although James Forrest is still a few weeks away from returning to action.

Ross County will have to make do without Ross Draper and Callum Norris, who are both nursing calf injuries. Kettlewell will instruct his players to form a compact shape out of possession as the Staggies target an unlikely victory at Celtic Park - a ground on which they have not triumphed since 2010.

Kick-off is at 2pm GMT and the game is being shown on Premier Sports 1 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Celtic v Ross County live stream from outside your country

If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
