🔗 Share this article Unbowed Wilfried Nancy insists he is not worried about dismissal however the Parkhead faithful unleash fury following defeat. The Celtic boss insisted he was not afraid of dismissal, asserting, “I believe we are very near to changing our fortunes,” even after sliding worryingly close to being fired with a comprehensive loss to their arch-rivals. A Second-Half Capitulation Results in Old Firm Defeat Celtic had led the visitors at the interval but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was appointed in December, has now been in charge for six defeats in his first eight games. “The board and I are united with the board,” stated Nancy. Pressed on his own future, the 48-year-old responded: “It’s not on my mind. My focus is on working out methods to get the team to be good on small moments. Protest Erupts Hundreds of supporters displayed their anger – aimed at the dugout and directors – by protesting outside the stadium. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to bring back the interim manager, who enjoyed a successful temporary stint before Nancy was hired, if Nancy departs. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. So this is the truth for the moment. However by saying that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am a defeatist guy. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, really, really close to reverse our form.” Focus on the Details Nancy remains focused on the fact the side show good levels for one half at a time. For instance, but for poor finishing they could have been better than 1-0 up. “There were positives aside from the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I have also to be objective. “The level we had at stages was really, really, really high. This is the reality. I wouldn't talk like that if it was untrue. That is the reason, regarding outcomes, I noted this is the same story. For that reason I believe we are nearly there to things turning around. Right now: the fine margins.” “I saw many, many good things that we did, like today again. The issue now is sustaining it. My message would change if it was not the case. This is why I am convinced we will manage to fix this.” Opposition Reaction Response Rangers manager refused to contemplate a championship push in spite of what seemed like a statement victory. “Step by step, and we can really build up a challenge,” he said. “The faith in the group is excellent.”
