🔗 Share this article Unbowed Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about the sack however Celtic fans display fury following defeat. Wilfried Nancy insisted he had no concerns about dismissal, claiming, “The team is really close to a turnaround,” even after sliding worryingly close to being fired with a convincing defeat by their arch-rivals. A Second-Half Meltdown Sees Old Firm Defeat Celtic were in front Rangers at the break but a second-half capitulation enabled the Gers to draw level on points with the defending league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was appointed from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six losses in his first eight fixtures. “The board and I are united at the club,” insisted the manager. Pressed on his own future, he responded: “That’s not my focus. My focus is on working out methods to aid my players to improve on small moments. Supporters' Anger On Display The fans voiced their fury – aimed at the board and manager – by gathering at Parkhead. Club directors are reportedly likely to re-appoint the former boss, who steered the club during a interim spell previously, if Nancy departs. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. So this is the situation for the moment. But in stating this is the reality, that is not a sign that I am giving up. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, really, really close to change the narrative.” “Really, Really Close” Nancy continues to cling to the fact Celtic can perform strongly for a half at a time. In fact, but for missed chances they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we haven’t scored our chances,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I have also to be objective. “The standard we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. That is a fact. And I would not talk like that if it was not the case. Therefore, regarding outcomes, I noted we've seen this before. Which is why I feel a change is coming to getting it right. But for the moment: the fine margins.” “There were many, many good things that we did, like today again. But now is performing for 90 minutes. My narrative would change the same. This is why I am a big believer the team can to fix this.” The Rangers Boss Stance The victorious boss was cautious about a championship push in spite of what seemed like a landmark win. “One match at a time, so we can develop momentum,” he said. “The confidence in the group is immense.”
