The Celtic boss stated he was not afraid of dismissal, claiming, “We are very near to a turnaround,” even after moving dangerously close to the exit with a convincing loss to their arch-rivals.

A Second-Half Collapse Sees Old Firm Disaster

The Hoops were in front their oldest rivals at half-time but a disastrous second period allowed the Gers to draw level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was hired from the MLS, has now been in charge for six losses in his last eight fixtures.

“The board and I are united at the club,” stated Nancy.

Pressed on the speculation, the 48-year-old said: “I don’t think about it. I concentrate on discovering solutions to aid my players to improve on the fine details.

Protest Erupts

Celtic’s support made their feelings clear – aimed at the hierarchy – in their hundreds outside the stadium. The hierarchy are reportedly likely to re-appoint Martin O’Neill, who enjoyed a successful interim spell last year, should a change be made.

“It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the reality for the moment. Yet in stating that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am giving up. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, extremely close to change the narrative.”

Nancy’s Persistent Belief

He remains focused on the fact the side show good levels for 45 minutes at a time. For instance, but for wastefulness in front of goal they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we missed more goals,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I must remain fair.

“The performance we had at stages was of top quality. That happened. And I would not talk like that if it was not the case. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I mentioned this is the same story. For that reason I said that we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. Right now: the fine margins.”

“We produced many, many good things that we did, once more. However is consistency. My outlook would be different the same. This is why I am a big believer we’re going to be able to get back on track.”

Opposition Reaction Response

The victorious boss refused to contemplate a title charge even after what felt like a huge result. “We take it game by game, so we can develop momentum,” he said. “The confidence in the group is excellent.”
