Ronny Deila's goal of managing Celtic in the Champions League group stage remains unfulfilled for now

It will be a second appearance in a row in that competition for the Scottish champions.

Last season, Roony Deila's men reached the last 32 of the tournament, losing to Italian giants Inter Milan.
