Unbowed Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about the sack yet Celtic fans show anger after loss.

The under-pressure manager declared he had no concerns about the sack, asserting, “We are extremely close to changing our fortunes,” in the wake of edging perilously close to the exit with a comprehensive setback against their arch-rivals.

Another Meltdown Sees Old Firm Defeat

The home side were ahead the visitors at the break but a second-half capitulation let the Gers to pull level on points with the reigning league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was brought in in December, has now overseen six losses in his last eight fixtures.

“There is unity with the board,” insisted Nancy.

Asked directly about whether he was concerned, he replied: “It’s not on my mind. I concentrate on discovering solutions to help my team to improve on the fine details.

Protest On Display

Celtic’s support voiced their fury – directed at the dugout and directors – by protesting outside the stadium. The hierarchy would be most likely to bring back the interim manager, who had a fruitful temporary stint previously, if Nancy departs.

“Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the situation for the moment. Yet by saying this is the reality, I am not saying that I am pessimistic. No. What I mean we are really close, imminently close to reverse our form.”

Focus on the Details

He continues to cling to the fact Celtic play well for one half at a time. In fact, were it not for missed chances they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we missed a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but it's important to stay fair.

“The level we had at certain moments was of top quality. This is the reality. I could not say that if it was different. But that’s why, regarding outcomes, I said this is the same story. Which is why I feel we are nearly there to things turning around. Currently: small things.”

“We produced many, many good things that we did, like today again. However comes down to sustaining it. My outlook would change the same. This is why I firmly believe we will manage to get back on track.”

Opposition Reaction Stance

The victorious boss refused to contemplate a championship push in spite of what felt like a statement victory. “We take it game by game, so we can really build up momentum,” he said. “The belief in the team is excellent.”
