Celtic set up a Champions League tie with Rosenborg by thrashing Linfield.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has suggested to The Mail that he is open to the idea of contacting Ronny Deila for advice ahead of facing Rosenborg of Norway.
The Hoops eased into the next round of Champions League qualifiers by thumping Linfield 4-0 in Glasgow last night to seal a 6-0 aggregate victory.
In doing so, Celtic set up a tie with Rosenborg, with the Norwegian outfit standing between them and a spot in the group stages of Europe’s elite competition.
Deila, who resigned as Bhoys manager in May 2016, spent nine years managing in Norway prior to joining the Scottish giants in 2014, and Rodgers has said to The Mail that he would not hesitate in asking his opinion about Rosenborg if he needs it.
Asked whether he’ll contact his predecessor, the Northern Irishman said: “I haven’t really thought about it. Ronny is a good man and did great here.
“We’ve got the information if I need it and I know he is there. Mikael (Lustig) is there too. We will have plenty of detail.”
Deila, 41, won three trophies in his two years as Celtic manager – including two Premiership titles – but his lack of progress in the Champions League arguably cost him a longer stint at Parkhead.
The Norwegian manager was unable to qualify the club for the group stages in any of his two seasons in charge.
The first leg will take place on either July 25 or 26.
