Ronny Deila says his exit settled Celtic

Celtic boss Ronny Deila claims clarity regarding his future lay behind the convincing victory over Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday.

The Norwegian will leave at the end of the season and is virtually certain to take with him a second successive Ladbrokes Premiership title following the 3-1 win which came courtesy of goals from Colin Kazim-Richards, Patrick Roberts and Leigh Griffiths.

The Hoops moved nine points ahead of Aberdeen with three games remaining but the goal difference which stands at 35 in the Parkhead club’s favour realistically makes them uncatchable.
