Celtic manager Ronny Deila says the club has taken too many chances on players in a bid to find talent on a limited budget.

The outgoing Celtic manager says the approach has left the squad bloated.

“There were too many players at that time. There have been mistakes but we have taken chances with players, trying to find the right ones.

“When you don’t have a lot of money and you can’t get the ones you know are real quality, you have to take chances. In the end it has been unbalanced and that’s a challenge. It is a problem that has to be resolved.” (Herald)
