Ronny Deila pleased by response to disappointment

Ronny Deila reveals his pride after watching Celtic recover from Scottish Cup disappointment to beat Dundee 2-1.

Ronny Deila has revealed his delight with Celtic's response in the 2-1 win over Dundee after their hopes of a treble were dashed at the weekend.

A dramatic 3-2 defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Cup semi-final halted Celtic's bid to win three trophies this season, and Deila admits that the disappointment has been hard to accept.

"I am very pleased with the boys and I am proud of them," the Celtic boss told reporters. "The disappointment was there from Sunday but we got rid of that.

"It was the toughest day in my career on Sunday, I have to admit that. It was very tough. I really wanted it and I think we had a very good opportunity.

"So Sunday and Monday was very, very tough but now it has gone. I just want to keep on winning games and get that league title to Celtic Park."

Celtic are eight points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
