Reigning champions Celtic came back from behind to beat Ross County in their Scottish Premiership opener.
.
County's Darren Maatsen shocked Celtic Park with an emphatic early goal from distance. Hoops' Dutch debutant Derk Boerrigter looked lively before Anthony Stokes levelled from a yard out for the hosts.
.
Celtic hit the woodwork twice after the break and Stokes was denied a penalty before the striker's late near-post finish clinched three points.
.
It was so nearly an early dent to the 90-points-total Celtic manager Neil Lennon has set for 2013-14 in the inaugural year of the Scottish Professional Football League's Premiership.
.
Last season, a tally of 79 points was amassed as the final Scottish Premier League title was secured by Lennon's side, and the champions' flag was unfurled before kick-off.
.
Eyes focused largely on Dutch debutants with former Ajax winger Boerrigter in the hosts' line-up and Ross County fielding Maatsen and forward Kevin Luckassen.

Efe Ambrose is a good player for Celtic FC anytime anyday. He just knows how to make the best use of his role on the football pitch. Very good one.
