Ronny Deila will step down as manager of Scottish giants Celtic at the end of the season, the Norwegian announced. Celtic are currently eight points clear of Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership and on course for a fifth successive title, but Deila’s position has been under scrutiny for some time. Celtic have made little progress in Europe under the 40-year-old and were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Old Firm rivals Rangers following a semi-final penalty shootout defeat. “It is vital that the club comes first, instead of me being the focus,” Deila is reported to have said. “Hopefully now the team and the club can be the focus as we enter this final important period of the season. It was an absolute privilege to be named manager of Celtic, such a wonderful football club, and I have enjoyed my time here immensely,” he added.
