VIDEO: Celtic's Kris Commons lost the plot when he was taken off last night

Celtic had a tough time in the Europa League yesterday - losing 3-1 to Molde on a miserable night in Norway.

In dreadful conditions at the Aker Stadion, first-half goals by striker Ola Kamara and defender Vegard Forren gave the home side a two goal interval lead.

Kris Commons reduced the lead in the 54th minute with a well-taken goal but seconds later Mohamed Elyounoussi restored the Norwegian club’s advantage.

When the former Derby attacker was replaced by Nadir Ciftci with 15 minutes remaining he showed his rage as he went into the dugout, appearing to shout at assistant boss John Collins.

Manager Ronny Deila said: “That is not acceptable. We are a team. I can understand that players can be disappointed getting taken off but to show it that way is not how we want to have it at Celtic.

“We are one team and it is not about one player. It was very disrespectful to every one of us.

“He was talking to everybody. He was irritated he was taken off, that’s okay but you do it a better way than he did it tonight

“I have spoken to him, of course.”

Deila explained his decision to take Commons off was a matter of balance, as Ciftci went up in attack to partner Leigh Griffiths.

“It is always a matter of having the balance between attacking and defending,” said the Norwegian.

“You can’t only have four strikers, you need to have somebody who can defend as well, so we can have the ball.

“We wanted two strikers on and we needed more balance in the midfield because you saw that when they got the ball they counter-attacked us.

“There is a number of games coming up and Kris can be important in them as well.”

The Parkhead club are bottom of Group A with two points from three games ahead of the visit of the Norwegians next month.
