Unbowed Nancy insists he is not worried about the sack however the Parkhead faithful show fury following loss.

Wilfried Nancy stated he was not afraid of losing his job, asserting, “I believe we are really close to a turnaround,” even after edging perilously close to being fired with a convincing setback against Rangers.

Another Collapse Sees Derby Loss

Celtic were in front their oldest rivals at the break but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was brought in from the MLS, has now presided over six setbacks in his last eight matches.

“The board and I are united with the board,” insisted the manager.

Pressed on the speculation, Nancy responded: “I don’t think about it. I concentrate on finding ways to get the team to be good on the fine details.

Supporters' Anger Erupts

Celtic’s support made their feelings clear – towards the board and manager – by gathering outside the stadium. The board are thought to be considering to return to the former boss, who steered the club during a caretaker period previously, if the Frenchman were sacked.

“Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. That is the reality for the moment. Yet when I say that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am pessimistic. Absolutely not. What I mean we are on the cusp, imminently close to reverse our form.”

Focus on the Details

He remains focused on the fact Celtic play well for one half at a time. Indeed, if not for wastefulness in front of goal they would have been more than 1-0 up. “There were positives aside from the fact that we missed more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain objective.

“The level we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. That is a fact. And I would not speak so positively if it was not the case. But that’s why, in terms of results, I mentioned it's a repeating pattern. For that reason I feel we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. But for the moment: the fine margins.”

“There were many, many good things that we did, like today again. But now is consistency. My narrative would be different the same. This is why I firmly believe we will manage to fix this.”

Röhl’s Cautious Response

The victorious boss refused to contemplate a championship push despite what felt like a huge result. “We take it game by game, then we can gradually build a challenge,” he said. “The faith in the squad is excellent.”
