Ronny Deila: 'Molde will be lifted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer return'

By Jonathan McIntosh, Reporter | 21 October 2015

Ronny Deila says that Molde will be boosted for their Europa League match against Celtic by the return of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ronny Deila has said that Molde will be boosted by the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager.

Solskjaer returned to Molde for a second spell in charge on Wednesday, and his charges will play against Celtic in the Europa League on Thursday.

"When you get a new manager in you get more energy and belief," Deila told reporters. "It's always like that. It was the same at the weekend [against Motherwell under new manager Mark McGhee].

"Solskjaer when he came into the club, he built the club up together with a lot of the people who are here now.

"He's coming back and the same principles are here as when he left. The club is in a good condition and I don't think he'll revolutionise it or do anything very different - 90 per cent of the players played under him last time."

The match is Celtic's first against Norwegian opposition since Deila joined from Tippeligaen club Stromsgodset in 2014.
