- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named two changes to the Celts side that clinched a 3-0 win over St Mirren in Paisley in their last league match, before blowing away Highland League opponents Buckie Thistle 5-0 in the Scottish Cup on Sunday.
- Joe Hart continued in goal with Alastair Johnston, Liam Scales, Maik Nawrocki and Greg Taylor making up an unchanged back four. Club captain Callum McGregor made way for Odin Holm to accompany Matt O'Riley and Paulo Bernardo in midfield.
- Liel Abada made his first Celtic start since September, joining Luis Palma and Kyogo Furuhashi - both of whom scored against the fifth-tier outfit - in the Hoops' front three. Daizen Maeda is away at the Asian Cup with Japan so is unavailable.
- Ross County boss Derek Adams named five changes to the Staggies side that lost 3-0 at home to Aberdeen before it became back-to-back Dingwall defeats by that scoreline as Championship side Partick Thistle knocked them out of the Scottish Cup.
- Fulham loanee George Wickens started between the sticks at Ross Laidlaw's expense. Ryan Leak was the only defender to keep his place as James Brown, club captain Jack Baldwin and now departed Ben Purrington made way.
- Connor Randall, Will Nightingale and George Harmon came into the County backline to start. Eli King, who has arrived on loan from Cardiff City, replaced Jordan White as the Staggies opted to start Simon Murray as a sole striker.
