Celtic manager Ronny Deila has revealed that he is excited about guiding the team in the Scottish Premiership this season.

The Hoops, who start their campaign at St Johnstone on Wednesday, are the heavy favourites to win what would be a fourth consecutive title this year.

"It's going to very exciting to get into a rhythm and work every day to get improvements," Deila is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"The team who improves most of all during the season will win the league and we have a strong squad, the best in Scotland. So, if we keep on playing well and developing, we will have a very good chance to win it."

Celtic won the Scottish Premiership by 29 points last season under previous boss Neil Lennon.
