@NeilCameron5: “Ronny Deila has conducted himself with great dignity. A decent and honest man. A pleasure to deal with.”

@STVGrant: “Curious that it is Ronny Deila himself who has made the call to quit Celtic, rather than a mutual decision.”

@aHellofaBeating: “Be time & place to discuss Deila’s Celtic legacy. For now; Ronny wanted to make club better in every way. Hopefully he’s planted that seed.”

@Oldfirmfacts1: “Ronny Deila to leave Celtic at end of season, having tendered his resignation 5 minutes into the Scottish Cup semi-final.”

@paddypower: “Ronny Deila “leaving” Celtic, similar to how I “left” the nightclub on my 18th birthday, in the arms of the bouncer, covered in vomit.”
