Celtic manager Ronny Deila plans clear-the-air talks with his players insisting he fully understands the frustrations of the clubs supporters. Deila watched his side draw 0-0 at home against Dundee on Wednesday night, allowing Aberdeen, who beat Dundee United 1-0 at Tannadice, to close the gap at the top to just four points. The Celtic fans vented their disappointment at the end, booing the team off the pitch at the final whistle.I really understand the fans reaction, but its also important that we do this together, said the Norwegian. Celtics players, including Charlie Mulgrew, left the pitch to a hostile reception on Wednesday Every time we come out and play, they stand behind us and they will do that in the future.The performances lately have not been good enough to get the points we need to have, so thats the most important thing now, to get back on track.Ahead of Sundays Scottish Cup quarter-final against Morton, live on Sky Sports 2, Deila stated his intention to meet with the players but also stressed they are in a strong position to win their fifth successive title. We need to clear the air and agree how we go forward, he said. At the moment we have to solve different issues on the pitch, so we get the rhythm into play again.The situation is that we are four points ahead. We have 10 games left and its a lot to play for. We can see the end now, and we can see a trophy there.Goalkeeper Craig Gordon also echoed his managers sentiments, telling Sky Sports News HQ he hopes the fans can be patient with the team. Craig Gordon returned to the starting line-up against Dundee after being replaced by Logan Bailly in last Fridays draw at Hamilton Its not a great situation, but we ask the fans to be patient and let the players try and put it right, said the Scotland international.We know its difficult to watch and the fans let us know that last night. Its up to us to stick together - if we can give them some football to get behind, then Im sure they will get behind us again.

The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Drew Petrie is losing the support of his fellow key forwards, with Jonathan Brown agreeing the North Melbourne star should be dropped from the AFL.Browns comments come after Kangaroos legend Wayne Carey, Petries predecessor at Arden St, said it was time for coach Brad Scott to make a big call.North have lost their last five matches and remarkably could miss the finals after opening the season with a nine-game winning streak.They are now eighth, just two wins ahead of Port Adelaide and St Kilda.It is a little bit controversial, but `Ducks right, Brown, the former Brisbane captain, said on Nova 100.Drew Petries form has been horrible.He hasnt been able to hit the scoreboard this year and theyre saying now hes in the side for defensive pressure.Hes struggling to lay a tackle.Careys former North teammate David King was the first to suggest last week that Petrie should be dropped and the numbers support the growing clamour.Petrie has kicked at least 42 goals per season for the last five years, but after 17 rounds he only has 19.He has kicked no goals in the last two matches.Petrie only laid two tackles in Saturdays upset loss to Port Adelaide and none the week before.He has 35 for the season, whereas the 33-year-old has laid at least 61 in the previous three years.But North are also arguing that the numbers do not tell the full story.They point out that with Petrie in the side, it frees up fellow key forward Ben Brown, who is enjoying a big seaason.ddddddddddddNorths third key forward Jarrad Waite finally returned from a hip injury against Port and clearly needed the run.Their other main tall forward option Mason Wood is injured.Whatever the solution, North badly need to find more firepower in attack - they have not scored more than 84 points in a match during their five-game losing streak.And Brown added North are now a very good chance to miss the finals, given their tough draw.It is a realistic possibility, Brown said.Meanwhile, umpires coach Hayden Kennedy has backed Justin Schmitt for his controversial free against North defender Michael Firrito.In the opening minute of the Port game, Jay Schulz was tackling Firrito when the North backman handballed through a behind.Schmitt controversially penalised Firrito for a deliberate rushed behind and Schulz kicked an easy goal.He thought Michael then had an opportunity to dispose of the ball, Kennedy told the AFL website.He doesnt and once he gets tackled, he handballs it with force well over the (goal) line.Justin weighed up those two particular items and because of the distance away from the (goal) line and from where it (the handball) landed, he thought it was a deliberate rushed behind.Kennedy conceded Firrito was under pressure, but said the rushed behind was intentional and could have been avoided.
