Ronny Deila has said that Celtic's Champions League exit has been tough to take but that it was not as difficult as last year's exit at the same stage.

Celtic exited the Champions League after a 4-3 aggregate defeat to Swedish club Malmo on Tuesday.

"I think it was harder last year because I didn't have control of anything [last season]" Deila told BBC Sport.

"It was tough days of course. It was tough for everybody, but everyone knows you just have to move on and there's a lot ahead - interesting games and a lot to fight for."

Celtic will meet Ajax, Fenerbahce and Molde in the Europa League group stage.
