Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to discuss former Hoops manager Ronny Deila.
This comes after the official Celtic Twitter account shared a post on their page commemorating the six-year anniversary of Deila’s appointment as Hoops boss.
The post also contained an image of Deila holding up a Celtic shirt with his name on the back of it outside of Celtic Park back in 2014 and gathered a lot of replies from Celtic fans, who were not shy in airing their thoughts on Deila and his time at the club.
Here’s a sample of Celtic fans responding to the post:

Job was to big for Ronny, he even said that himself and it caused him sleepless nights

In just under two years as Celtic manager, Deila took charge of 118 games at the club, averaging a total of 2.12 points per game (per Transfermarkt).
Thank god he’s not manager anymore

Deila’s first season in charge of Celtic in the 2014/15 season saw the Hoops win the Scottish Premiership with 92 points, 17 points ahead of second-place Aberdeen with 75 points (per Transfermarkt).
Some man but always felt like the job was too big for him.

Do you remember Deila's time at Celtic fondly?
Yes
No
The 2015/16 season saw Deila’s Celtic win the league once again, this time with 86 points – 15 points ahead of second-placed Aberdeen (per Transfermarkt).
The biggest myth in Celtics history.

Hounded out of a job for the treacherous Brendan Rodgers

And what a disaster he was.

At the end of that season, Deila left the club and was soon replaced by former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
Uninspiring choice.

Now that the official Celtic Twitter account has shared this post on their page commemorating the six-year anniversary of Deila’s appointment, this paved the way for lots of Celtic fans to share their predominantly negative views on the Norwegian.
However, there were Celtic fans with an alternative view of Deila and his time at the club.
• robbed off a opportunity of a treble
• brought through McGregor
• brought through tierney
•saved giffiths

It’s a shame that the majority of these Celtic fans don’t remember Deila or his spell as manager fondly, despite him winning two Premiership titles at the club.
