SuggestedLeadIn: Celtic manager Ronny Deila and Malmo coach Age Hareide reflect on the Swedish side's 4-3 aggregate win in the Champions League play-offs.
Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Ronny Deila, Celtic manager
"We lose and win together, that's how it is, it's my responsibility, this team was not up to the level we can be and I am part of that, I am the leader in this team, so again we have to learn from this, some hard learning, we knew that if we were at our best we could go through but we were not at our best and not even close with that performance that we wanted, Malmo deserved to go through."
(on the disallowed goal)
"I saw it afterwards, I didn't see it clearly, but it was a big mistake, it was a clear goal and that changed the game, so I am very disappointed."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Age Hareide, Malmo manager
"If they got the goal it would have been 2-1 and we would have gone through anyway so why are you asking if we are lucky?"
"The plan was perfect, we wanted to play a little bit longer than we normally do, and work on the second ball, we want to get hold of the ball in front of the Celtic defence and change the side of the play because they push up, and try to get in behind them as much as possible and Marcus Rosenburg and Niko did a fantastic job on that, we planned to have set pieces and throw ins and we got one clear cut chance with Marcus Rosenburg, he made a fantastic save from a quick throw in, the set pieces are perfect, we have been working on that, that is why we closed training so you couldn't see it."
