🔗 Share this article Bullish Nancy insists he is not worried about dismissal but supporters display fury after defeat. The Celtic boss insisted he was not afraid of dismissal, asserting, “I believe we are extremely close to a turnaround,” despite moving dangerously close to being fired with a comprehensive defeat by Rangers. A Second-Half Collapse Results in Derby Defeat Celtic had led the visitors at the break but a disastrous second period allowed Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the defending league title holders. Nancy, who was appointed from Columbus Crew, has now overseen six losses in his last eight games. “There is unity at the club,” stated Nancy. Questioned about whether he was concerned, Nancy responded: “It’s not on my mind. My focus is on working out methods to get the team to be good on the fine details. Fan Fury Erupts Hundreds of supporters voiced their fury – towards the board and manager – in their hundreds at Parkhead. Club directors are reportedly likely to re-appoint Martin O’Neill, who steered the club during a caretaker period previously, should a change be made. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the reality for the moment. However when I say this is the reality, I am not saying that I am a defeatist guy. Not at all. My point is we are really close, extremely close to change the narrative.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief Nancy remains focused on the fact the side show good levels for 45 minutes at a time. In fact, but for missed chances they might have been better than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we haven’t scored our chances,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I have also to be objective. “The level we had at times was exceptionally high. This is the reality. I could not speak so positively if it was untrue. That is the reason, when it comes to wins, I said we've seen this before. For that reason I believe a change is coming to a shift in fortunes. Currently: the fine margins.” “There were a lot of encouraging signs that we did, as was the case today. The issue now is performing for 90 minutes. My narrative would be different the same. Therefore I am a big believer we’re going to be able to get back on track.” Opposition Reaction Stance Danny Röhl was cautious about a serious challenge in spite of what appeared to be a huge result. “Step by step, so we can develop a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the group is immense.”
