Former Celtic manager Ronny Deila has won plaudits from the Belgian media for the job he is doing at Standard Liege, with some outlets calling him "incredible".

The Norwegian joined the club last summer from New York City and currently has his side in contention for a top four spot in the league after defeating Union Saint Gilloise 4-2 in their most recent fixture.

Despite losing key players in the January window and not being given any money to invest in his squad, the 47-year-old's team are only a couple of points outside the championship play-off spot.

This has led to him receiving praise in domestic media, with commentator Peter Vandenbempt telling Radio One: "I raise my praise again for Standard and trainer Ronny Deila. Impressive what they did on the field of an unbeatable Union, which was unbeaten for 17 games.

"Perhaps what Deila does with the Reds is the most impressive of all trainers. It is a club without money that cannot make transfers, that has sold its best players. That is strong.”

Former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has finally broken his six-month spell without a goal for Lyon.

The Frenchman netted for the first time since September in a recent fixture against Auxerre.

His strike could not stop the Ligue 1 side from losing as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat.

It has been a tough campaign for the 26-year-old, who has only scored three goals for Lyon this season.

He moved to the French club from the Hoops in 2018 after scoring 51 goals across two seasons for the Scottish champions and picking up back-to-back domestic trebles.

Dembele's contract is up at the end of the season which means Celtic will not be able to cash in on a sell-on fee installed the deal.
