Wilfried Nancy stated he had no concerns about dismissal, claiming, “We are extremely close to changing our fortunes,” in the wake of sliding worryingly close to the exit with a convincing loss to the Ibrox side.

Another Collapse Leads to Old Firm Loss

Celtic were in front their oldest rivals at half-time but a disastrous second period allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was brought in in December, has now overseen six setbacks in eight fixtures.

“We are together with the board,” stated the manager.

Asked directly about whether he was concerned, the 48-year-old said: “It’s not on my mind. My focus is on finding ways to aid my players to excel on small moments.

Protest Erupts

Celtic’s support voiced their fury – towards the hierarchy – by gathering at Parkhead. Club directors would be most likely to bring back Martin O’Neill, who had a fruitful interim spell previously, if the Frenchman were sacked.

“The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the situation for the moment. Yet by saying this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am pessimistic. Absolutely not. My point is we are really close, imminently close to reverse our form.”

Nancy’s Persistent Belief

The coach highlights the fact his team show good levels for a half at a time. For instance, but for missed chances they could have been more than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit other than the fact that we didn't take more goals,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I must remain fair.

“The standard we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. That happened. I could not say that if it was untrue. But that’s why, when it comes to wins, I noted this is the same story. That’s why I said that a change is coming to getting it right. But for the moment: details, details, details.”

“We produced many, many good things that we did, like today again. However is consistency. My outlook would change the same. This is why I am convinced we will manage to get back on track.”

Röhl’s Cautious Stance

Danny Röhl refused to contemplate a serious challenge even after what appeared to be a statement victory. “We take it game by game, so we can gradually build momentum,” he said. “The faith in the team is excellent.”
