🔗 Share this article Unbowed Wilfried Nancy insists he is not worried about the sack but Celtic fans show anger following loss. Wilfried Nancy insisted he had no concerns about losing his job, asserting, “We are extremely close to a turnaround,” in the wake of sliding worryingly close to the chopping block with a convincing defeat by Rangers. A Second-Half Capitulation Results in Derby Loss The Hoops were ahead Rangers at the interval but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was hired in December, has now been in charge for six setbacks in his first eight matches. “There is unity with the board,” stated Nancy. Questioned about the speculation, the 48-year-old responded: “That’s not my focus. I concentrate on finding ways to get the team to improve on the fine details. Protest Outside Parkhead Celtic’s support displayed their anger – directed at the hierarchy – by protesting at Parkhead. The hierarchy are reportedly likely to return to the former boss, who steered the club during a interim spell last year, if Nancy departs. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. Yet when I say that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am pessimistic. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, extremely close to change the narrative.” Focus on the Details Nancy continues to cling to the fact his team play well for 45 minutes at a time. For instance, but for poor finishing they would have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we missed a second goal,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain balanced. “The level we had at stages was exceptionally high. This is the reality. And I would not say that if it was untrue. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I said we've seen this before. For that reason I believe a change is coming to things turning around. But for the moment: the fine margins.” “We produced a lot of encouraging signs that we did, like today again. But now comes down to sustaining it. My narrative would be different if I didn't believe it. That’s why I firmly believe we’re going to be able to get back on track.” Röhl’s Cautious Response Danny Röhl refused to contemplate a serious challenge even after what felt like a huge result. “One match at a time, then we can develop momentum,” he said. “The belief in the squad is immense.”
