Some Celtic fans have been talking about Ronny Deila, expressing their liking for the former Hoops manager.
A fan posted a photo of herself with the Norwegian following an MLS meeting between Toronto FC and Deila’s New York City FC. She revealed what Deila told her about the club all-but sealing the Premiership title in the current campaign. When she posted the image, many Hoops fans saw it and they were raving about their former manager.
I hope he’s back pitch side with Lennon when 10 is delivered, not to steal from Lennon’s achievements but to show appreciation to Ronny and his passion for the club.

Great man oor Ronny— Tony Hayes (@DiMarco_Pattaya) March 8, 2020
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?
Of course he was
Lennon is miles better
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.
