We must perform with ‘a Celtic heart’, says under-pressure Delia

Ronny Deila acknowledged the size of the task he has in rescuing Celtic’s Champions League hopes against Legia Warsaw at Murrayfield tonight by admitting success might just make it the best night of his life.

The Hoops go into the game on the back of a crushing 4-1 defeat in Poland last week which could have been worse had the home side not missed two penalties and several other opportunities.

Deila has only been at the club since taking over from Neil Lennon in June but at the pre-match press conference he showed he was aware of the significance of last week’s result by saying: “It is the same in every club. If you lose it is a disaster but it’s a bigger disaster here.”
