Celtic have lost their appeal against Dedryck Boyata's red card at Hamilton.

The defender was dismissed for a 'last man' challenge on Accies striker Carlton Morris three minutes before the break in the Premiership clash last Friday, which finished 1-1.

Deila initially blamed the former Manchester City defender for the tackle but on reviewing footage of the incident, decided to lodge an appeal, which has fallen on deaf ears.
