Bullish Wilfried Nancy does not fear being fired however Celtic fans display wrath after loss.
Wilfried Nancy declared he had no concerns about the sack, maintaining, “The team is very near to things turning around,” in the wake of moving dangerously close to the chopping block with a convincing setback against Rangers.
Another Capitulation Sees Derby Disaster
The home side had led the visitors at the break but a collapse after the break allowed the Gers to move level on points with the reigning league title holders. The French coach, who was appointed in December, has now overseen six defeats in eight fixtures.
“There is unity at the club,” said the manager.
Asked directly about his own future, Nancy replied: “I don’t think about it. I concentrate on discovering solutions to help my team to be good on small moments.
Fan Fury Outside Parkhead
The fans displayed their anger – aimed at the board and manager – in their hundreds outside the stadium. Club directors would be most likely to re-appoint the interim manager, who enjoyed a successful temporary stint last year, if Nancy departs.
“The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. So this is the reality for the moment. However in stating this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am a defeatist guy. Not at all. What I mean we are really close, extremely close to reverse our form.”
Nancy’s Persistent Belief
The coach continues to cling to the fact his team play well for one half at a time. In fact, were it not for poor finishing they might have been greater than 1-0 up. “I saw enough aside from the fact that we missed more goals,” he said. “I know that we lost, but it's important to stay objective.
“The standard we had at times was really, really, really high. That happened. And I would not say that if it was untrue. That is the reason, when it comes to wins, I said we've seen this before. That’s why I believe a change is coming to getting it right. Currently: details, details, details.”
“I saw plenty of positives that we did, once more. But now comes down to performing for 90 minutes. My narrative would not be if it was not the case. This is why I am convinced we will manage to get back on track.”
Röhl’s Cautious Response
Rangers manager played down talk of a championship push despite what seemed like a landmark win. “We take it game by game, and we can develop something here,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is outstanding.”
