“I’m so proud of the boys today, it’s so hard when you go 2-0 down,” he told BT Sport.

“We talked about going out to attack them and we got back into the game 2-2. Then an easy goal against us for 3-2 straight before half-time.

Ronny Deila was “so proud” of Celtic after fighting back for a 3-3 draw against Inter.

“I’m so proud of the boys today, it’s so hard when you go 2-0 down,” he told BT Sport.

“We talked about going out to attack them and we got back into the game 2-2. Then an easy goal against us for 3-2 straight before half-time.

“In the second half I thought we controlled the game and had three or four very big chances to score. I am very proud of the boys today and the atmosphere was fantastic. It wouldn’t have been possible without the fans, so we thank them. It was unbelievable.”

The Nerazzurri had seemed to be in charge, but Celtic scored twice in 73 seconds to complete the comeback for 2-2.

Inter had easy goals today, but we don’t get punished the way we were tonight in the domestic league. We have to work defensively and were also a little unlucky today.

“We create chances and score goals, so those are the most difficult parts. We have to defend better, but Inter scored maybe with every chance they had.

“The team was very brave to come back into the game and so I’m proud of the boys.”

The second leg is at the Stadio Meazza next Thursday.
