RONNY DEILA will get his hands on the SPFL trophy tomorrow afternoon after Celtic play Inverness.

But while the Norwegian will lap up the celebrations, he has admitted that his mind is already elsewhere.

It is not that Deila is already switched off, dreaming of cocktails and beaches, but rather that he is switched on to what needs to be done in order to prepare fully for the demands of the Uefa Champions League qualifiers.

The Hoops boss will party with the punters tomorrow, but as his players jet off on breaks around the globe, he will be going nowhere without a smartphone in hand.

"I am working all the time," he said. "I will go away but I will always be on the phone and following everything with Peter Lawwell. We have done good work so far for the transfer window, but it is very hard, especially to get things early as it is doubly expensive as it normally is so we carry on working hard and we will see where we are going.

"Everybody has to know that we want to have a good window so that when we meet up in June we are even stronger. That is what everyone wants. Everyone at the club. But you can't be stupid. You have to do the right things.

"There has to be sense in what we are doing. One thing is to agree with the player, but then you have to agree with the club. It is not only one thing. We are working and we will see what is happening.

"You never fully switch off. It is different than going into work every day. You can relax more and be together with people you love to be together with and have some time off and some sunshine.

"I have a good feeling that we can arrange things and make the team even stronger."

Yet, for all that Deila is already turning his attention to what he needs to do to take that next step and make it into the Champions League, he is aware that there is an element of enjoyment that he has to relish tomorrow.

However, he is keen to lay the acclaim for the campaign at the feet of his players, insisting that what has given him the most satisfaction this season is the manner in which his side recovered from a difficult early few months of the campaign to turn things around.

And he believes that the trust he has gained from the Celtic supporters will enable him to drive on and deliver on the philosophy that he wants to implement at the club.

"I am not so into holding the trophy," shrugged Deila." That is not the biggest thing. The way to it has been the biggest thing. I have seen the improvements we have made. Things are positive and that is what we have to build on. That is the fun part.

"It is another step. It is different from when we won at Stromsgodset because here we are used to winning. There it was different. It was a sensation. But the big goal now is the Champions League. We are preparing every day for that one.

"It is important but I think we have enjoyed it before this day. It is important not to take it for granted because there have been times that the trophy was not at Celtic Park and now it is four in a row. That is a very good spell and hopefully there will be more. I am happy to be a champion here together with the players and everyone else at the club.

"Trust is something you build over time and you can ruin it in one second if you do something wrong. So you have to keep building trust both ways. This is a reward for good work for everybody and it is important we celebrate that together."

Meanwhile, the Celtic manager has re-iterated that he is not in the business of selling any of his players this season.

There was speculation surrounding Nir Bitton this week with Sunderland linked with the midfielder, while Virgil van Dijk has been continually linked with a move to the Premiership.

Deila, though, is determined to keep the nucleus of his side together this summer.

"I am happy to hear that people are interested in Nir," he said. "There has been tremendous development and he is a great player but again he has got to stay here and develop more. He needs more games under his belt before he can make the next step but he is a great talent and a great boy."

Deila took in Thursday night's Youth Cup Final where Celtic's under-20 side enjoyed a 5-2 win over Rangers at Hampden.

And part of his vision for the club will involve being able to draw on youth players and develop them sufficiently that they can cope with the demands of the first-team.

"That takes time," said the Norwegian. "You cannot judge me on that after one season. Give me three or four seasons and then you should say something about that but that is what we want to do."

Questioned on his thoughts about Thursday's performance, Deila said: "I see a very good team. I see good spirit. I see a style of play that is more and more closer to the first team and I see some players who have special talents and that is exciting.

"We want to get them into the right environment, train with the best players and also have good co-operations with other clubs to get them on loan if they need to do that to make the next step in their career. There are four or five we think that are getting closer to the first team."
