Celtic B face a tough examination tonight as they travel to meet a Ross County side who have already scored 88 goals this season.

The young Hoops head to Dingwall for their KDM Evolution Trophy second-round tie, with the SPFL confirming a 7.45pm kick-off.

County’s remarkable scoring record gives Celtic plenty to think about.

Stay on top of all the Celtic news on our homepage.

Their 25 competitive matches have produced 45 league goals, 30 in the Evolution Trophy and another 13 in the Premier Sports Cup.

That run includes a 14–0 victory over Hearts B in this competition, while Queen of the South have been beaten 8–0 and 7–1 in League One.

County sit top of the division with 35 points from 13 games. This is a senior side playing with confidence and scoring freely.

Celtic, meanwhile, have gone six matches without a clean sheet.

There has been plenty of entertainment in their cup campaign, though. The youngsters scored 18 goals across their six league-phase fixtures, winning three and drawing three. They conceded 14 along the way.

That attacking threat gives them something to take north, but they can hardly afford to make this an open contest without tightening up at the other end.

Lucas Clearie is one player supporters will be watching for when the team is announced.

The teenage forward has already earned an opportunity to train with Celtic’s first team, with his performances for the B side attracting attention. Tonight would provide another useful measure of his progress if selected.
