Ronny Deila claims talk of Celtic already wrapping up the Scottish Premiership title is premature.

Celtic boss Ronny Deila has claimed that he is not considering his team's title hopes at this stage of the season, despite his side increasing their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The Hoops are now seven points ahead of early-season leaders Aberdeen, following a 3-1 win over the Dons at Celtic Park.

However, the Norwegian coach has insisted that there are far too many games left to consider the championship already won.

He is quoted by the club's official website as saying: "I don't want to look at the title at all. I'm only thinking about the next game. We're not even halfway through the season and so much can happen.

"But I know I have a very good group of players who love playing together – which you saw today - and they have a hunger for success. That's a good foundation for winning games and trophies."

Hearts are now in second place after a 4-0 win away to Partick Thistle.
