Celtic boss Ronny Deila unconcerned by Aberdeen form

Celtic manager Ronny Deila says that he is confident his side can dethrone Scottish Premiership leaders Aberdeen.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has insisted that he is not concerned by Aberdeen's position at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The Dons have opened up a one-point lead over the Hoops at the summit having played a game more, but the Norwegian is confident that his side will depose them during the second half of the season.

"I'm not concerned about that," BBC Sport quotes Deila as saying. "It is in our hands and, if we win our games, we are the champions and that is what we want to do.

"We are not halfway through yet, so there are a lot of games to go."

Aberdeen can extend their lead to four points if they defeat Motherwell this weekend.
