Ronny Deila: 'We are prepared for Qarabag FK clash'

Celtic coach Ronny Deila insists that his side find themselves well prepared as they look to progress beyond Qarabag FK in the qualifying stages of the Champions League.

Celtic boss Ronny Deila has insisted that his side find themselves in a good position to progress into the next qualifying stage of the Champions League.

The Hoops hold a 1-0 advantage over Qarabag FK, but face a challenging trip to Azerbaijan on Wednesday evening as speculation continues to circulate regarding the state of the club's pitch.

"We'll get more answers when we train on it. This is how it is in football - sometimes you have different conditions and you have to handle that and since I came to Celtic I have been very impressed with how the players have handled different situations," said Deila, according to BBC Sport.

"It's the same for [Qarabag]. We'll agree what we need to do and do it as well as we can and then we'll have a very good chance.

"We know that the Champions League is a tough competition. It's a new game, we are leading 1-0. We are confident that we are a better team now than we were last year. It's going to be tough but we are prepared."

Celtic's clash is being held in the city of Baku, which has been subjected to intense heat in recent weeks.
