Celtic manager Ronny Deila is looking forward to several important game on the horizon for his team. While Celtic were frustrated for long periods by struggling County, Delia’s side secured the win when a Kris Commons shot deflected under the bar off Paul Quinn on 52 minutes. Although Celtic produced a below-par display in Dingwall on Saturday, the team appears to be playing with more confidence than they produced during the festive season. Celtic face a busy period with a Europa League tie with Inter Milan on the horizon, a Scottish Cup meeting with Dundee at Dens Park, and a visit from second place Aberdeen in the league approaching. And next week Celtic are involved in another competition when they face Championship side Rangers in the League Cup semi-final at Hampden on Sunday.
The game will be Deila’s first semi-final since his arrival at Celtic Park, and the Norwegian is relishing the prospect of possibly clinching a place in the competition’s showpiece in March. Deila said: "I really look forward to it and I think we are in good place now. We know it's a big game for many reasons. All around the match there's going to be atmosphere and history. It's going to be a different challenge. We are favourites. If we perform at our very best then it is very hard to beat us. It's up to us."
