Deila’s men more than competed with Inter Milan

Those who thought Celtic would be traveling away to the San Siro to be involved in an Italian massacre were sorely mistaken and Deila’s men gave a brilliant account of themselves throughout both legs of the tie.

Sloppy goals in the first leg cost them but their heart and never say die ability to come back and level the scoreline won them a few fans across Europe – and their determination and grit when down to ten men in the second leg will have done the same.

Celtic will be back in the Champions League next season and will want to get through their group – but even if they end up in the Europa League again, will know they do not have to fear anyone.
