Celtic boss Deila slams English football as' boring'

Celtic boss Ronny Deila has slammed English football.

The Norwegian was speaking in the wake of the announcement this week of a record £5.14billion Premier League TV rights deal.

"Scottish football has so much enthusiasm," he said.

"I don't think too much about money. It is important for fans to understand the English clubs are getting more money and we have no chance to compete with budgets.

"But we can be better at other things that doesn't cost money like developing players and people.

"I have been many times to England and I am bored compared with what's happening here in the stands sometimes.

"The game against Rangers is special. They don't have that.

"I have been at United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and it's not near the atmosphere there was in that game."
