Ronny Deila has urged Celtic supporters to show his successor a united front ahead of his final match in charge. The Norwegian will say his goodbyes to fans following Sundays Premiership title party as they play Motherwell at Celtic Park, live on Sky Sports 2. The 40-year-old is standing down after leading the Hoops to back-to-back league titles but leaves behind a club at odds with their own supporters who are unhappy with chief executive Peter Lawwell and the recent downsizing of their spending ambitions. However, at his final pre-match news conference, Deila insisted it is important the fans put their differences to one side and give the man taking over the backing he will need to stave off the challenge coming next season from the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts and Rangers, back in the top division after a four-season absence.Asked what message he had for the supporters, Deila said: First Id want to thank all the fans. Its been two fantastic years and the relationship I had with them was very good.I wish them all the best in the future. This club is special and they need to understand how special it is and protect it, because everybody now wants to drag it down. They want us to lose.Its important we have unity. The players, the staff, the new manager coming - they need time and support. If they do that people will grow and they will get the best out of them and there will be a lot more trophies here at Celtic.

But while the former Stromsgodset boss, who confirmed he will fly back to Norway on Sunday evening, knows his reign will have divided opinions, he insists he was right to take on the challenge.What you remember is the trophies in the end, he said. They are what go down in the history books. Celtic celebrate winning the title after beating Aberdeen Some will think I was a great guy who did everything I could and had some success. Others will think I was a complete disaster and should have done better. But thats why this is the greatest sport in the world. Its full of opinions.Sunday will be a little bit sad but at the same time it is a good feeling. It is difficult to say what Im feeling. I need time to reflect on what I have been through these last two years before I can really express what I feel.But it will be strange on Monday when I dont have anything to go to. I havent had that for 20 years. Ive been in this game for so long. Ive never had the summers off so now is the first time. But I think the best thing is to have a little bit of time off now and to reflect on what Ive been through, recharge the batteries and then really get that hungry look again.
