🔗 Share this article Defiant Celtic's manager shows no fear of the sack but supporters show anger following defeat. The under-pressure manager insisted he had no concerns about the sack, asserting, “We are very near to a turnaround,” despite moving dangerously close to the exit with a convincing setback against their arch-rivals. A Second-Half Collapse Sees Derby Disaster Celtic had led their oldest rivals at the interval but a second-half capitulation enabled Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the reigning league title holders. The French coach, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six losses in eight games. “There is unity with the board,” said Nancy. Pressed on whether he was concerned, he said: “That’s not my focus. I concentrate on discovering solutions to aid my players to improve on small moments. Fan Fury On Display Celtic’s support made their feelings clear – directed at the dugout and directors – by gathering at Parkhead. The board are reportedly likely to re-appoint the former boss, who enjoyed a successful interim spell last year, if Nancy departs. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. So this is the truth for the moment. But when I say that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am a defeatist guy. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, imminently close to reverse our form.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief The coach remains focused on the fact Celtic play well for a half at a time. Indeed, but for missed chances they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “I saw enough aside from the fact that we haven’t scored more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain fair. “The standard we had at certain moments was exceptionally high. This is the reality. I could not say that if it was different. But that’s why, regarding outcomes, I noted we've seen this before. That’s why I said that we are really close to things turning around. Right now: details, details, details.” “We produced plenty of positives that we did, as was the case today. But now comes down to sustaining it. My outlook would change if I didn't believe it. Therefore I am convinced we’re going to be able to get back on track.” The Rangers Boss Stance Rangers manager refused to contemplate a serious challenge despite what seemed like a statement victory. “We take it game by game, then we can develop momentum,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is outstanding.”
