Being a roaster aside.
Celtic are the Champions of Scotland, no way they should have so many qualifying games.
That's the way it is though.

Seems like a right scatty fud. He'll be well suited to that horrible mob.

Nice to see that the new man has quickly slipped into the Celtic way of doing things
This is how it feels

I saw this article just before setting off for Dunfermline tonight so I didn't have a chance to post anything but he seems like the kind of guy who will fit in perfectly at Parkhead.
I'm sure this will be the sort of thing that the Green Brigade would have been referring to with their "A man must be a Celt on and off the field" nonsense last season.
As for his comment about "the others dragging Celtic down", is he aware that clubs such as Kilmarnock, St Mirren and Motherwell are in such a weak position thanks in no small part to the fact that those clubs are based in towns where a large number of their inhabitants are going along to Parkhead every other week, therefore boosting the Celtic coffers and further weakening the opposition in Scotland.
I think I'm going to really dislike this guy, possibly even more so than his predecessor.

I'd also like to remind him that his best player (and captain) is Scott Brown, his two main strikers are Leigh Griffiths and Anthony Stokes and another main player in his squad is Charlie Mulgrew.
If the rest of us clubs are keeping them down, then how about they give back the players they took from other SPL teams and we'll see how much we're dragging them down then.

Not saying that's your reasons, but think a lot of people didn't like Lennon for reasons they're not even sure of themselves.

Lennon's behaviour at times during his years in Scotland, both as a player and a manager, was ridiculous.
Some of the things he has had to put up with has been shameful and totally out of order but he certainly made a lot of enemies with opposition fans with some of his antics.

i think he's talking about the other scottish teams recent piss poor efforts in european football which isn't helping the scottish co-efficient and thus making celtic play 3 qualy rounds? i agree with him on that score, (less said about our exploits last year the better)

Don't see what he's said that's wrong.
The European rankings should be on a club by club basis rather than on a country's co-efficient.
The whole nation co-efficient is designed to keep the big clubs in the big nations happy and that's it.
He's sticking up for his own side so I don't have a problem with it whether it be Celtic or anyone else.

Looks like some people are just trying to be offended/annoyed by this, nothing much he said was wrong or inaccurate IMO
I don't think he actually set out to cause offence to anyone in particular but just answered a pretty loaded question
Celtic are regular Champions League Club and in the last 8 year have got to the last 16 n three separate occasion so in that sense they shouldn't have to play qualifiers, the Co-efficient should be on a Club by Club basis not Country by Country

He isn't far off though. In England the team that comes 4th only has to play one qualifier and 3rd gets straight to the group state. There should be less 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed teams in the champions league and more champions. I don't think it will happen though, because I think most people would rather watch someone like Arsenal than the champions of smaller nations.

Playing devils advocate his comments may be insensitive but they aren't far from the truth. Hibs and other Scottish teams failing to reach the group stages of the Europa league have not helped the coefficient.

His club was one of 2 who made the league what it is.Want a more ccompetitive league ? Well dont try to hog 90% of the income through tv etc and watch the rest fight over scraps. Cant have it both ways imo .

Scotland's coefficient is a direct result of the league it has had in the past.
That league was imposed upon us by two clubs for their benefit alone without a single thought for the Aberdeens, Hearts or Hibs. Those two clubs took 90% of the revenue.
For reasons that have been done over and over, One crashed into administration and then liquidation, got placed in Division 3 and is now in the Championship.
The other smugly sneered at its fallen rival but now with the interest gone plays in a stadium less than a third full most weeks yet has the sheer gall through its new puppet of a manager to blame its misfortune of having to play 3 qualifiers for the Champions League on teams with less than a tenth of its budget.
Bravo Ronny, you really are an utter fud.

What Deila states is correct. Due to Scotland's poor ranking, Celtic do have to play 3 qualifying games. However, IF Celtic are such a big club then they should find no difficulty in winning their qualifying games, no matter how many, as their opponents will be from other small countries and of a much poorer quality.
However, maybe Deila should be bleating to the SFA/SPL/SPFL about Scotland's poor ranking. The suits at Hampden made sure that the share of the revenue was biased so that the Bigot Bros took the lion's share depriving the other Scottish clubs of making a fist of it. Even the 4 games a season is designed to help the old firm to the detriment of the others. When the game in Scotland is played on a level playing field then maybe the ranking will go up but until then Scotland will continue to be grouped alongside other small countries.
Aberdeen having to start their qualifying at the beginning of July would have a bigger reason to complain (as an ex-cup winner).
