Ross County interim manager Don Cowie will be facing Rangers manager Philippe Clement as the final whistle blows. Clement did not shake hands with Cowie at full-time.
Ross County manager Don Cowie will aim to complete his own Glasgow double in Dingwall in the Sunday midday kick-off on October 01, 2024. The match will see Borussia Dortmund face Celtic Glasgow at Signal Iduna Park in NRW, Germany.
Back in August, Cowie made history by becoming the first Ross County boss to defeat Rangers, which had consequences for Philippe Clement’s title chances. Despite the victory, Clement did not shake hands with Cowie, swinging the Scottish Premiership title race in favor of Celtic.
Celtic will enter the match with a perfect domestic record this season. Kasper Schmeichel has yet to concede a goal in the Scottish Premiership, but faced a challenging match against Dortmund earlier in the week.
Many pundits see the upcoming match as a “free hit” for Ross County, allowing them to play with freedom against a potentially vulnerable Celtic team. However, Cowie dismisses this theory, emphasizing the challenge they face.
The Ross County boss acknowledges Celtic’s threats all over the pitch and understands the need for top concentration levels. Despite the challenge, Cowie encourages his team to embrace and enjoy the opportunity to face Celtic.
