Former Celtic boss Ronny Deila makes atmosphere comparison
Former Celtic manager Ronny Deila believes the atmosphere surrounding the Tel Aviv derby can match the intensity of the Glasgow derby…
Now in charge of Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Norwegian recently led his side to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over city rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv in a heated encounter.
Deila had briefly left Israel earlier this year due to escalating conflict in the region, making his way to Egypt after football activity was suspended. He returned to the club last month, accompanied by former Hoops and Ibrox striker Kenny Miller as part of his backroom team.

Speaking after the derby win, Deila said the passion and hostility generated by the Tel Aviv clash compares closely to the fixtures between Celtic and the Ibrox club during his time in charge in Scotland.
