Charlie Nicholas has labelled his former club Celtic as stale and says they have regressed while rivals Rangers have taken big strides forward this season. Ronny Deilas side lead Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership by eight points but suffered their second cup semi-final defeat this season on Sunday, losing 5-4 on penalties to Rangers following a 2-2 draw after extra time.Nicholas, who had two spells with the club in the 1980s and 1990s, says changes need to be made in the wake of their Scottish Cup exit but thinks the problems go beyond under-fire manager Deila. Nicholas expects Ronny Deila to leave Celtic this summer I said before kick-off there would be no excuse for Celtic if they didnt take care of Rangers, Nicholas told Sky Sports News HQ. Whether Rangers are on the up, which they are, or because they are a good passing team, which they are, it had no relevance to Celtic.The consequences to Celtic today and from now on are gigantic but Rangers have taken a big jump forward and Celtic have gone a big step back. Celtic owner Dermot Desmond (middle) with chairman Ian Bankier (right) and chief executive Peter Lawwell at Hampden It goes much further [than Deila]. It has been brewing since Rangers left the [top] league. Celtic got cocky and now they are a stale football club. The owner [Dermot Desmond] is stale, we very rarely see him here, we dont know if he is making big decisions anymore. [Chief executive] Peter Lawwell is in charge of recruitment when it should be the manager.Nicholas was full of praise for Rangers and manager Mark Warburton following their semi-final triumph and said they were the better team at Hampden. Deila on the brink Celtic manager Ronny Deila is on the brink of losing his job, says Andy Walker I think everybody was saying it would take a bit of time for Rangers to catch up but you have to give Mark Warburton credit. The work he has done in a short space of time, how they pass the ball, how they move the ball, quite a few young players.Its a very exciting time for Rangers who have been under a black cloud for such a long time. Now they have moved on to Celtic and not only have they said weve caught you up but look forward to next season now as well. Rangers secured a place in the final of the Scottish Cup with a 5-4 penalty shootout victory over Celtic at Hampden Park I thought they were the best team in control of the ball, they worked hard without the ball. When they had it they were comfortable.I was listening to the Sky Sports panel yesterday and Neil Lennon was saying it, Rangers were playing the Celtic passing game that Celtic now under Ronny Deila should be playing. They never looked comfortable on the ball, they never looked together when they didnt have the ball. They defended badly, bad decision making. Nicholas praised Rangers manager Mark Warburton and his team Nicholas thinks Celtic will part company with their manager in the summer but says Deila must remain in charge until the end of the season so there is no disruption to their title bid.[Gordon] Strachan came in and had to slash the budget and was very successful, he said. Neil Lennon came in and had a tight budget but was successful. Deila has come in, and he has to take his responsibilities, I dont think Ronny was the right man at the time, I still expect him to win the league. Celtic boss Ronny Deila says their performance was not at the level he expects after they lost to Rangers I dont think he has been strong enough to stand up against it and say I dont want the players you are giving me, I want better players than that. They spent £6m on two centre-backs. Why not spend £6m on a couple of exciting, attack-minded players?But they go to Dundee United, they buy someone for £750,000 or £1m. They have gone down the cheap and cheerful route - and now it is not cheerful anymore.If he wins the title he might think that is enough to keep him in a job but Celtic are expected to win the title so I think in the summer there will be a change but, then again, the type of managers who always get linked with it - they talked about David Moyes, Malky Mackay, Roy Keane - they tried to get him and couldnt convince him. Celtics Patrick Roberts reacts after a missed shot Celtic have to change their policy, they have to get a manager who becomes a footballing manager who has got control of the football team, who can bring in players. You dont let accountants and scouts go and do that job for you. They have to change, they are too stale and if they stay stale they will struggle to get a top name manager.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Matt Moore last started an NFL game in the 2011 season finale, when the Miami Dolphins beat the New York Jets and Todd Bowles was his coach.Well, Bowles is on the other sideline now, and the veteran quarterback is stepping in for Ryan Tannehill on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium when the AFC East rivals meet for the second time this season.I have a lot of respect for Matt, said Bowles, the Jets coach who served as Miamis interim coach for the final three games in 2011. He hasnt played in a while, obviously. Tannehills been playing good for them. Matts a competitor. I know he can throw the football and hell be ready to play.Tannehill is sidelined with a strained left knee, which will sideline him for the first time in his NFL career.With the Dolphins (8-5) looking to clinch their first winning season since 2008, Moore will be under center after leading Miami on the winning drive last Sunday against Arizona.Ive done this before, the 32-year-old Moore said. Im just trying to jump in and have these guys and myself really not miss a beat.Its been a busy week for Moore, whose wife gave birth to their son Wyatt on Monday. Now, the quarterback is trying to keep the Dolphins in the playoff hunt. Miami is in the thick of things in the AFC, but is on the outside looking in for the final wild-card because of tiebreakers with Denver (8-5).If youre a Miami fan, youve been looking forward to it for a long time, wide receiver Jarvis Landry said. Just being here and to just see how things have evolved, where we came from and where we have the position to be heading to, its amazing. Its something that definitely makes you jump out of bed in the morning and come to work with a smile on your face.Meanwhile, the Jets (4-9) are hoping to play spoiler and looking to avoid being swept by the Dolphins in a season series for the first time since 2009. Bryce Petty will make his second straight start for New York after leading the Jets to a 23-17 overtime win at San Francisco.It was kind of a statement deal for, I think, everybody that were not just going to lay down, Petty said. We have three games left now and a lot of good things to come for this team.Here are some other things to know when the Dolphins and Jets meet Saturday night:POSTSEASON SCENARIOS: The Dolphins have a chance to end a seven-season playoff drought, but players insist theyre paying little attention to the standings.Were somewhere in the middle, the top, the bottom. Who knows? defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said. We all understand whats ahead of us and whatt we need to do.ddddddddddddTo make the playoffs, Miami needs to win one more game than the Broncos the rest of the way, meaning if Denver goes 2-1, the Dolphins would need to go 3-0.ROBBY THE ROOKIE: In his last four games, rookie Robby Anderson leads the Jets with 263 yards receiving on 15 catches.Anderson signed as an undrafted free agent out of Temple. He had an uphill climb to make New Yorks roster, but impressed the coaching staff with his speed and athleticism. Hes fourth on the team with 34 catches and ranks eighth among rookie wide receivers in team history with 464 yards receiving.MIAMI MILESTONE: Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi needs 44 yards for 1,000, but has averaged only 3.1 yards per carry in the past three games.Ajayi had consecutive 200-yard games in October. He hasnt reached triple figures since running for 111 against the Jets in Game 8, and coach Adam Gase blames injuries on the offensive line, stout defensive fronts and bad luck.Were a shoelace away so many different times, where all of a sudden that 5-yard gain is going to be 25, Gase said. I dont want him to change anything hes doing because hes doing exactly what we need him to do, and hes doing exactly the same thing he did when we had those big-time rushing numbers. He just cant get frustrated thinking its something with him.BOOM-BOOM-POWELL: After Matt Forte went down with a knee injury early against San Francisco, Bilal Powell came in and rushed for 145 yards , the second-highest total of career, and two TDs, including a 19-yard game-winning run in OT.His 179 yards from scrimmage were the most by a Jets running back on the road since Curtis Martins 175 in 2004 vs. St Louis. Forte is uncertain to play against the Dolphins, so Powell could be in for another busy game -- which could also be big for his fantasy owners.O-LINE SHUFFLE: Continuity has been an issue for New Yorks offensive line because of injuries, with starting center Nick Mangold, left tackle Ryan Clady and right tackle Breno Giacomini all on injured reserve. Only left guard James Carpenter has started every game.The Jets have used seven different combinations of linemen and could see an eighth on Saturday. If Brent Qvale (hamstring) is unable to play right tackle, rookie Brandon Shell could make his first NFL start.---AP Sports Writer Steven Wine in Davie, Florida, contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
