🔗 Share this article Defiant Wilfried Nancy does not fear dismissal yet Celtic fans unleash anger after defeat. The Celtic boss declared he was not afraid of losing his job, asserting, “The team is really close to things turning around,” despite moving dangerously close to the exit with a comprehensive defeat by their arch-rivals. Another Collapse Leads to Derby Defeat The Hoops had led Rangers at the interval but a disastrous second period allowed Rangers to move level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was appointed in December, has now been in charge for six defeats in eight fixtures. “The board and I are united at the club,” insisted Nancy. Asked directly about whether he was concerned, he replied: “I don’t think about it. I think about working out methods to get the team to improve on the fine details. Supporters' Anger Erupts Hundreds of supporters made their feelings clear – directed at the hierarchy – in their hundreds at full time. Club directors are thought to be considering to bring back Martin O’Neill, who steered the club during a caretaker period previously, should a change be made. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the truth for the moment. Yet when I say this is the reality, that is not a sign that I am a defeatist guy. Absolutely not. My point is we are on the cusp, imminently close to change the narrative.” Focus on the Details Nancy highlights the fact the side play well for a half at a time. In fact, if not for wastefulness in front of goal they might have been better than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I have also to be fair. “The performance we had at times was really, really, really high. That is a fact. I could not speak so positively if it was different. But that’s why, regarding outcomes, I mentioned we've seen this before. That’s why I feel we are nearly there to things turning around. Right now: details, details, details.” “There were many, many good things that we did, once more. The issue now it’s about sustaining it. My outlook would not be if I didn't believe it. Therefore I am a big believer we will manage to get back on track.” Opposition Reaction Response Danny Röhl was cautious about a championship push even after what felt like a huge result. “We take it game by game, and we can really build up momentum,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is excellent.”
