Deila delight at first trophy

Celtic manager Ronny Deila was thrilled to win the first trophy available after taking over from Neil Lennon last summer.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila was thrilled to win the first trophy available after taking over from Neil Lennon last summer.

The former Stromsgodset boss guided Celtic to a 2-0 win over Dundee United in the final of the Scottish League Cup, presented by QTS, at Hampden on Sunday.

Kris Commons gave the Parkhead club a half-time lead and substitute James Forrest sealed the win after United had Sean Dillon sent off.

Deila, whose side host the same opponents in a Scottish Cup quarter-final replay on Wednesday, told the club website: "It’s a great feeling. It’s good to get a good start when you are a manager for a club as big as Celtic.

“This was the first trophy we could win and we did it. You get an appetite after this and you want more. I’m happy for the boys and I’m proud of them. We had a professional performance today so we should really enjoy this moment.

“We have talked about the Treble many times. It’s a dream and it’s so tough to do it but it’s possible and the dream is still alive and I’m happy for that.”
