Fear not factor in Celtic defeat, says Kris Commons

Kris Commons has denied Ronny Deila’s claims that Celtic played with fear when crashing out of the Champions League to Malmo on Tuesday night.

The Bhoys’ 2-0 defeat at the Swedbank Stadion on Tuesday sent the home side through 4-3 on aggregate with Deila surprising many by describing his side as “scared.”

But Commons, who replaced Stuart Armstrong for the start of the second half with Celtic trailing 1-0 and having had a goal by Nir Bitton controversially chalked off, was at odds with the Norwegian as to the reasons for the defeat.
