Europa League

Celtic manager Ronny Deila eyes Inter Milan upset

By Shane Callaghan, Reporter | 16 December 2014

Celtic coach Ronny Deila vows that the Bhoys will give their all in order to eliminate Roberto Mancini's Inter Milan from the Europa League in February.

Ronny Deila is confident that his Celtic team have what it takes to eliminate Inter Milan in the last 32 of the Europa League.

The Scottish champions have been paired with the Italian giants - now coached by ex-Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini - in the first knockout stage of the tournament.

Inter sit 11th in the Serie A table, having endured a trying season thus far, and Deila is hopeful that the Bhoys can add to their woes in February.

"It's going to be a very good match and I'm really looking forward to it," he told the club's official website.

"I know Roberto Mancini is their manager now, that they have been struggling a bit for the last year or two and aren't the team they were in 2010 when they won the Champions League.

"But they are a good team and it's going to be a tough game. Everything is possible, however, and we have everything to play for. We will have to be at our best in both games to hopefully go through."

The Nerazzurri travel to Glasgow for the first leg on February 19th, before welcoming Deila and company to the San Siro a week later.
