McCowan finished the score when he broke 8 minutes after the detention time after generating some skill.
Celtic Brendan Rodgers manager talking to Sky Sports:
“You can see the players, how they continued.
“In games like today you’ve got to find a way to win. Really, really cold day, pitch very bobbly, very bumpy and you just have to have that mentality to get through the game.
“The players showed a fantastic mentality and, although everything, they have some very intelligent winners at the end.
“Lots of players out that have been really creative players for us, but we still end up with four goals and play them well on a really, really difficult day.
“I have an idea that all [Kyogo] have been well adapted to this position. “
Ross County Chief Don Cowie on Sky Sports:
“I for children in terms of score.
“Disappointed that we have granted two goals in time because I saw an organization of players who put their bodies into play to save Celtic to score.
“I realize that Big Jordan [Amissah] right at the net, so I don’t think he absolutely deserves to concede the 4 passes, however, that’s what it is and we settle for this and move on to anything else. “
Sky Sports Pundits eyes on Kyogo has an effect on Dingwall:
Chris Sutton:
“He’s such an intelligent footballer and in times in games when he plays as an out-and-out centre forward he doesn’t get enough touches but he’s so clean and so aware.
“His is sensational. “
Kris Boyd as
“Your movement is scary, it would terrorize you if you are a defender.
“When you have balls like that, you will have possibilities, but your movement is amazing. “
