Ross County, founded in 1929, are moving through the 2026-27 season from a position of control. Based at The Global Energy Stadium, they sit first in League One and their recent league run has been bluntly convincing: five wins and a draw from the last six, including an 8-0 home win over Queen of the South.
The shape of their season is clearest in Dingwall. County are averaging 4.7 goals at home while conceding just 0.3, which is not a subtle balance. Away from home they have still carried a decent threat, scoring two per match and conceding one, with early pressure a recurring feature: they have opened the scoring inside 20 minutes in six of 13 league games.
Brian Graham has led the scoring with 11 goals, supported by Kieran Phillips on six and Jamie Lindsay on five. The squad is a relatively young one, with 29 players and an average age of 24, and is valued at around £3m by Transfermarkt.
County have also had a League Cup run to the quarter-finals and a Challenge Cup league-phase campaign. For Celtic supporters, the relevant point is straightforward: Ross County are a Scottish side in form, top of their division, and currently built around strong home scoring and a tight home defence.
