Before Saturday, which was the last team Leigh Griffiths scored a hat-trick against?

Deila is currently the manager New York City FC, having joined the club this past January from Valerenga. The Norwegian was in charge of Celtic from June 2014 till the summer of 2016 and had a points-per-match average of 2.12.

Was Deila a better manager than Neil Lennon?

During his time at Parkhead, Deila won two Premiership titles with the Hoops, before being replaced by Brendan Rodgers in the summer of 2016.

What do we think?

Celtic fans clearly still have a lot of love for their former manager, judging by the replies to this tweet. It also seems clear that Deila holds the club very close to his heart considering the nature of his comment. It looks like the Norwegian would be very welcome back at Celtic Park.
