🔗 Share this article Bullish Nancy insists he is not worried about being fired however the Parkhead faithful show anger after loss. Wilfried Nancy insisted he was not afraid of losing his job, maintaining, “I believe we are very near to a turnaround,” even after edging perilously close to the chopping block with a convincing setback against their arch-rivals. A Second-Half Meltdown Leads to Old Firm Loss Celtic had led Rangers at the interval but a second-half capitulation allowed the Gers to pull level on points with the defending league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was appointed from the MLS, has now presided over six setbacks in his first eight games. “There is unity with the board,” stated the manager. Pressed on the speculation, he said: “That’s not my focus. I think about discovering solutions to get the team to excel on details. Fan Fury Erupts The fans made their feelings clear – directed at the board and manager – by gathering outside the stadium. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to return to the former boss, who had a fruitful caretaker period 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, that is not a sign that I am pessimistic. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, really, really close to reverse our form.” Focus on the Details He continues to cling to the fact Celtic can perform strongly for 45 minutes at a time. For instance, were it not for wastefulness in front of goal they could have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain objective. “The standard we had at certain moments was exceptionally high. That happened. I wouldn't talk like that if it was different. That is the reason, regarding outcomes, I mentioned it's a repeating pattern. Which is why I feel a change is coming to things turning around. Right now: the fine margins.” “We produced plenty of positives that we did, once more. The issue now is performing for 90 minutes. My message would be different if it was not the case. This is why I firmly believe we will manage to fix this.” Opposition Reaction Stance Rangers manager played down talk of a title charge in spite of what felt like a statement victory. “Step by step, and we can really build up momentum,” he said. “The faith in the group is excellent.”
