Ronny Deila hoping victory in group’s ‘toughest game’ will lift Celts confidence

Boss Ronny Deila is looking to engineer Celtic’s first Europa League win in what he admits is Group A’s most difficult fixture: Away to Fenerbahce tonight.

The Hoops have no chance of qualifying for the knockout stages after taking only two points from the first five fixtures, while the home side, who lost their opening match at home to already-qualified Molde, need only one point to stay above Ajax to guarantee joining the Norwegian side in the last 32.

Norwegian Deila, speaking at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium before his side trained, was asked if the trip to Istanbul was the toughest test in the section.
