Carlton Cole slaughters former Celtic boss Ronny Deila as he reveals fitness rows that derailed 'disorganised' spell

Disappointed Carlton Cole reckons he didn't get to make his mark at Celtic amid rows over his fitness and position with boss Ronny Deila.

Cole signed a two-year deal at Celtic in 2015 under Deila after nine seasons with Premier League outfit West Ham, but his stay was cut short as the Parkhead side released him after just eight months. The seven-time England cap was at the end of his career and struggled to make his mark when he arrived in Glasgow's east end, with Leigh Griffiths enjoying a sensational goalscoring season and surpassing the 40-goal mark.

Cole netted just once during just five appearances for the Parkhead side in the Scottish Cup win over Stranraer, but did also controversially have a strike against Inverness ruled to be an own goal. However, he will have a chance to find the net for Celtic again as he pulls on the 38-year-old pulls on his boots again as Masters Football returns at Braehead this weekend.
