Jordan White wants Ross County to move on from Celtic rout and focus on Rangers

Jordan White hopes Ross County get the 5-0 thrashing by Celtic out of their system when the other half of the Old Firm visit Dingwall next Sunday.

The Staggies conceded all five goals and lost their goalkeeper to injury in a damaging first half in Glasgow which left them reeling.

Jack Hamilton replaced injured County keeper Ross Laidlaw just before the break and a series of good saves kept the scoreline from becoming any more embarrassing.

White hopes County draw on their home form – three wins and three draws in eight William Hill Premiership games – when they come up against Rangers.

The 32-year-old striker said: “We’ve been really good at home. It is a chance for us to show we can do something.

“We don’t want to go to places like Celtic Park and just accept we’re going to get beat.

“It’s not the way we want to go about it, but it can happen, and it is something we will move on from.”

Despite making six changes from the side which started in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Club Brugge in midweek, there was no drop-off in Celtic’s recent good form.

Defender Liam Scales started the scoring spree with a header from a Luke McCowan corner and then goals from McCowan, Paulo Bernardo, skipper Callum McGregor and Adam Idah had the points secured by interval.

White acknowledged the level of opponent but insists the concession of a first goal straight from a corner was “the real disappointing one”.

He added: “Our shape was fine up until then. When the scoreline does go to one or two then that’s what the big teams can do to you.

“They can put you away quickly. We just didn’t recover. We needed to be braver on the ball at times in the first half. We showed that a bit more in the second half.

“It was pleasing in the second half that we didn’t concede any more.

“Celtic maybe took their foot off the gas a wee bit, but it was about getting a wee bit of pride, that we kept the clean sheet in the second half.

“If that’s a positive we can take from this game, that is probably it.

“We were well beaten, and we need to move on from it.”
