Pressure mounts on Ronny Deila as Ajax confirm Celtic’s European exit

Celtic’s Europa League were ended for the season as Ajax substitute Vaclav Cerny scored a late winner for the visitors at Parkhead.

Hoops returning midfielder Callum McGregor, only starting due to a midfield crisis, gave the home side the lead and some hope in the third minute with a drive.

The Dutch side recovered and by the time Arkadiusz Milik levelled in the 21st minute they were bossing most of a wide open match but Celtic reasserted themselves only to be stung in the 88th minute with Cerny’s breakaway winner to win 2-1, although Fenerbahce’s win against already-qualified Molde made the result academic.
