🔗 Share this article Defiant Wilfried Nancy insists he is not worried about the sack but the Parkhead faithful unleash anger after defeat. The Celtic boss insisted he did not fear the sack, claiming, “I believe we are very near to changing our fortunes,” in the wake of edging perilously close to the exit with a heavy setback against Rangers. Another Collapse Leads to Old Firm Defeat The Hoops had led Rangers at the break but a second-half capitulation enabled the Gers to pull level on points with the defending league title holders. The French coach, who was appointed from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six defeats in eight fixtures. “The board and I are united with the board,” stated Nancy. Questioned about his own future, the 48-year-old responded: “That’s not my focus. I concentrate on discovering solutions to get the team to improve on small moments. Protest On Display Celtic’s support voiced their fury – aimed at the dugout and directors – in their hundreds at Parkhead. The board would be most likely to re-appoint Martin O’Neill, who steered the club during a temporary stint previously, should a change be made. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the situation for the moment. Yet by saying that’s how it is, I am not saying that I am a defeatist guy. Absolutely not. My point is we are on the cusp, really, really close to turn things around.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief Nancy highlights the fact his team can perform strongly for a half at a time. Indeed, but for missed chances they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we didn't take more goals,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but it's important to stay objective. “The performance we had at stages was really, really, really high. That happened. I could not talk like that if it was not the case. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I noted we've seen this before. That’s why I believe we are nearly there to getting it right. But for the moment: details, details, details.” “I saw plenty of positives that we did, once more. The issue now it’s about consistency. My outlook would not be if I didn't believe it. Therefore I firmly believe we will manage to get back on track.” Opposition Reaction Outlook Rangers manager was cautious about a serious challenge in spite of what felt like a statement victory. “One match at a time, and we can develop a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the squad is immense.”
