🔗 Share this article Bullish Nancy does not fear the sack however supporters unleash anger after defeat. Wilfried Nancy insisted he was not afraid of dismissal, claiming, “We are really close to things turning around,” in the wake of sliding worryingly close to the chopping block with a convincing defeat by Rangers. Another Collapse Results in Derby Loss The home side had led Rangers at half-time but a second-half capitulation enabled Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the current league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was hired from Columbus Crew, has now overseen six defeats in his last eight matches. “We are together at the club,” said Nancy. Asked directly about the speculation, Nancy replied: “That’s not my focus. My focus is on finding ways to get the team to improve on the fine details. Fan Fury Outside Parkhead Hundreds of supporters voiced their fury – directed at the hierarchy – by gathering at Parkhead. Club directors would be most likely to bring back Martin O’Neill, who steered the club during a caretaker period before Nancy was hired, if the Frenchman were sacked. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. Yet by saying that’s how it is, I am not saying that I am pessimistic. Absolutely not. My point is the turnaround is near, extremely close to change the narrative.” Focus on the Details Nancy highlights the fact Celtic show good levels for a half at a time. In fact, if not for poor finishing they would have been more than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit other than the fact that we haven’t scored a second goal,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I must remain fair. “The standard we had at stages was of top quality. That happened. And I would not talk like that if it was different. Therefore, in terms of results, I noted it's a repeating pattern. Which is why I feel we are really close to a shift in fortunes. But for the moment: small things.” “We produced a lot of encouraging signs that we did, once more. But now it’s about performing for 90 minutes. My narrative would not be if it was not the case. This is why I am a big believer we will manage to fix this.” Opposition Reaction Stance Danny Röhl played down talk of a serious challenge in spite of what felt like a statement victory. “Step by step, and we can really build up a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the team is outstanding.”
