Ronny Deila says his inability to improve Celtic during his time at the club has killed him inside. The Norwegian, who took over from Neil Lennon in the summer of 2014, announced he was leaving in the summer just three days after the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers.Deila led the club to the Scottish Premiership and League Cup double in his first year and the Hoops currently boast an eight-point lead over Aberdeen with five games remaining. Speaking ahead of the first post-split fixture against Ross County on Sunday, the former Stromsgodset manager said: It has been a tough week, there has been a lot of thinking and it hasnt started this week either.I have been thinking about this for a while because I havent felt the team has got the results they should have and, maybe more importantly, the performance and improvement I wanted.When I came in to the job, I talked about improving the team and playing attractive football and I think the last six months we havent had the improvement that we need. Ronny Deila says a lack of improvement at Celtic in the last six months was key to his decision to leave the club And with the speculation on his future with the club now over, Deila admits he is looking forward to bowing out with a second successive league championship.Improvement is one of my biggest values and when you dont get it, it kills me inside and I lose energy with that.I dont think there has been a lot of improvement and when you dont get improvement, the outside pressure is going to get harder and harder as well. Celtic have not improved in the manner Deila had hoped I have no problem dealing with that, I have been sitting in this room a lot of times and there has been a lot of difficult questions.That is not the problem, the problem is when you dont get improvements and the things you said you wanted to create when you came in the door, you havent created.One of the reasons we havent had that improvement is because of the pressure and speculation around me all the time. Celtic won the title in Deilas first season in charge That is why I think it is best for the club that new energy is coming into the club next season and now we can really focus on winning the five games and getting five-in-a-row. It is going to be a huge thing for me, the players and the whole club, this is why the decision has been made.And Deila has rubbished suggestions he was not in charge of the clubs transfer policy during his near two-year spell at the helm, insisting he takes full responsibility for the current strength of the squad.One, I signed the players so dont think about that. There is not one player here that I havent said yes to. Two, I knew what I went into when I took the job, said Deila, who brought 22 players to the club during his 22 months in charge. Erik Sviatchenko, one of Deilas last signings for Celtic This club want to be drifted in a positive way and have a positive economy and you have to drift in those circumstances.Everything that is coming into the club is going out of this club. That was said before I came here and its the same now. It is the philosophy of the club and I think its a very, very good thing. I have had good communications with the club and Peter [Lawwell]. I am not a bitter man. I was given a chance but I felt that lately we havent had the development that we wanted in the team.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama didnt miss a beat after tailback Damien Harris went down a couple of minutes into the game.The youngsters made sure of it.Quarterback Jalen Hurts completed the opening drive with a 20-yard touchdown run and fellow freshman Joshua Jacobs scored his first two career touchdowns in the top-ranked Crimson Tides 48-0 win Saturday over Kent State.The Tide (4-0) dominated coach Nick Sabans alma mater from the start while scoring on a kickoff return and even a short touchdown throw to linebacker/short-yardage blocker Mack Wilson -- yet another freshman. The only bad news for Alabama was Harris sprained his right ankle on the opening drive and didnt return.He was hardly needed in this game, when No. 2 quarterback Blake Barnett played much of the way and the emerging Jacobs ran for 97 yards. It amounted to a Saturday afternoon respite for the Tide after a bruising 48-43 comeback win over No. 23 Mississippi.The goal going into this game was to play a complete game, start fast, finish, and I think we probably did that as well as weve done all year, Saban said.Hurts was 16-of-24 passing for 164 yards and ran for 54 yards while splitting time with Barnett. He found Wilson for a 1-yard third-quarter score that was supposed to go to tight end O.J. Howard.Its his first career (touchdown), so I cant be mad about that, Howard said. Im happy somebody caught it.He did catch a 34-yarder from Barnett, who first got into the game early in the second quarter. Saban said Harris is day to day and his status is uncertain against Kentucky. The Kentucky native came into the game ranked fifth in the Southeastern Conference with 327 yards.Its just tough to see a player who means so much to our offense go down, Howard said.ddddddddddddAlabama did whatever it wanted in the first half, outgaining Kent State 352-53 and amassing a 41-0 lead. The Golden Flashes, who had trailed Penn State 16-13 at halftime in the opener, managed just 13 passing yards in the first three quarters before finally driving in the fourth.Backup quarterback George Bollas was initially given a touchdown on a fourth-quarter run toward the goal line, but was ruled down at the 1 after a review.Most of the fans, including all but a handful of students, were long gone by then.THE TAKEAWAYKent State: Theres a chance to bounce back in Mid-American Conference play when the playing field is more even. There were a lot of times we kind of gave them plays and werent being very disciplined, Kent State coach Paul Hayes said.Alabama: Dominated in every phase of the game (including a 502-166 advantage in total yards) and got plenty of reserves action, most notably Barnett and Jacobs. Harriss health was the only major issue, though receivers ArDarius Stewart and Robert Foster sat out to rest injured knees. Both are questionable against Kentucky.POLL IMPLICATIONSAlabama cant be ranked any higher than No. 1 and this game wasnt much of an opportunity to impress poll voters anyway.SHUTOUTIt was the Tides 18th shutout under Saban. Thats what were looking for every week, linebacker Ryan Anderson said. Were glad we were able to go out there and do it and glad the second team was able to uphold that standard.UP NEXTKent State hosts Akron in homecoming game and MAC opener.Alabama hosts Kentucky in its first SEC home game.
