🔗 Share this article Bullish Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about the sack however the Parkhead faithful unleash anger following defeat. Wilfried Nancy insisted he did not fear losing his job, asserting, “The team is very near to a turnaround,” in the wake of sliding worryingly close to the exit with a convincing loss to their arch-rivals. A Second-Half Capitulation Sees Derby Defeat The Hoops were in front Rangers at the break but a collapse after the break enabled Rangers to pull level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was brought in from the MLS, has now presided over six defeats in his first eight fixtures. “The board and I are united with the board,” said the manager. Pressed on the speculation, Nancy said: “It’s not on my mind. I think about working out methods to aid my players to improve on the fine details. Supporters' Anger Outside Parkhead Celtic’s support displayed their anger – towards the board and manager – by protesting outside the stadium. Club directors are reportedly likely to re-appoint the former boss, who steered the club during a interim spell previously, should a change be made. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. Yet when I say that’s how it is, I am not saying that I am giving up. No. My point is the turnaround is near, extremely close to change the narrative.” Focus on the Details The coach continues to cling to the fact the side can perform strongly for 45 minutes at a time. In fact, but for missed chances they might have been better than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit aside from the fact that we didn't take more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but it's important to stay objective. “The standard we had at times was of top quality. That is a fact. I could not speak so positively if it was not the case. Therefore, regarding outcomes, I said we've seen this before. For that reason I feel we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. Currently: the fine margins.” “We produced a lot of encouraging signs that we did, once more. The issue now it’s about sustaining it. My outlook would change if it was not the case. That’s why I am convinced we’re going to be able to turn things around.” The Rangers Boss Stance Danny Röhl played down talk of a serious challenge in spite of what seemed like a statement victory. “Step by step, so we can gradually build momentum,” he said. “The faith in the group is immense.”
