More seem to want him gone than want him to stay.<\/p>\n<p>If Deila wants to swing the support back onto his side he needs to do a number of things, and do them quickly.<\/p>\n<p>First, though, he needs to let the players know that they may want to cost him his job, but they will be gone before he is.<\/p>\n<p>He will know where the problems lie, and he will know who-or what -is causing them.<\/p>\n<p>If he doesn&#8217;t, then it is a problem and he should be asked to leave.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;d wager he does, and he needs to take firm, decisive action, and because questions are being asked about his own future, he needs players around him he can trust to perform.<\/p>\n<p>And if there is a bad apple in the barrel, then it must be discarded to prevent it from spoiling the others.<\/p>\n<p>That could mean an unfamiliar line up, but it would also bring with it an unfamiliar attitude.<\/p>\n<p>A will to play for the jersey.<\/p>\n<p>We saw an example of it in young Keiran Tierney.<\/p>\n<p>That attitude is also infectious, especially when it&#8217;s in a match.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it wins you matches.<\/p>\n<p>If, as i suspect, Ronny does have a long term plan, then this weekend is the time to start moving it ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell the Norwegian is hurting from his reactions in the press. Not Mowbrayesque, as some have said, but not far from it.<\/p>\n<p>Though it appear he saves his , er, louder, moments for the dressing room;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cI was angry and very disappointed. It\u2019s a lack of determination.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cThat is something that Scotland is known for and what KT (Tierney) showed on the pitch, that\u2019s real Scottish mentality. When you go back 20 years and think of those players \u2013 they are f*****g like this [punches hand]. That\u2019s what we need.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cYou are not a football player if you can\u2019t defend. It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cNot everyone can be tight all the time but you have to find your way to defend a goal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cWe need more with the attitude KT had because that was brilliant. That\u2019s exactly what I told them in the dressing room. How an 18-year-old boy had shown the desire we need.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cThat was at the bottom of it. That\u2019s something we need more of. We need some character, leadership and determination.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cThere were 10 men in the box at the second goal, so it\u2019s not about that. I don\u2019t see teams cutting through us to make clear chances. I don\u2019t see that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><em>\u201cWe need more physique there. We need more determination in the box at set-plays \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">We need more determination full stop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">There&#8217;s no heart in the team. There is no-one willing to make the jump from &#8220;someone needs to do something &#8221; to &#8220;I am someone &#8220;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">Until Ronny has a core of six or seven players willing to go that final round for him, the round that separates winners from losers, then he will struggle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CTEuvGPXIAAJofD.jpg\" alt=\"Embedded image permalink\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">\u00a0But right now, he , and the players who still give a toss, need support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">Starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">Right, how to lighten the mood&#8230;..?????<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">As is usual in the diary, when things are depressing \u00a0I always find it comforting to laugh at those less fortunate than our good selves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">I&#8217;ve not commented much on the big tax case result. Rangers won 2-1 when the verdicts were counted up, but it seems the late away goal counts for much more than double.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">They were found guilty, and as a result, we now have confirmation of what we knew all along. They cheated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">but they had help from the SFA, and perhaps all this talk of title stripping is simply playing the ball, and not the man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">Pressure first of all needs to be on the SFA. They sanctioned and supported all of this, and even tried their damndest to get them off the hook when the scandal came to light.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">When the fourth round of the cup is upon us, supporters of all clubs must boycott all of the games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">If they haven&#8217;t all quit before the threat is carried out, they will after, when the eyes of the sporting world are on them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">As opposed to what they see themselves, posted by the Celtic Network on twitter<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CTJX_wxWcAAj5_h.jpg\" alt=\"Embedded image permalink\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">See ?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">I bet you feel better already.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">My mates wee boy feels good as well. He saw Santa Claus beating up a Second Rangers fan outside a shop yesterday, and was amazed as he only posted the letter that same morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">Though I came home early last night, as the barman wouldn&#8217;t give me another drink. too Drunk, he explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">I&#8217;m going back in today when he&#8217;s sober.
