🔗 Share this article Unbowed Celtic's manager shows no fear of the sack yet supporters unleash wrath after loss. The under-pressure manager insisted he did not fear dismissal, asserting, “We are really close to changing our fortunes,” despite edging perilously close to the exit with a heavy loss to their arch-rivals. Another Meltdown Results in Derby Defeat The Hoops were ahead their oldest rivals at half-time but a disastrous second period allowed the Gers to draw level on points with the defending league title holders. The French coach, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six setbacks in his first eight games. “There is unity at the club,” said Nancy. Questioned about his own future, the 48-year-old responded: “I don’t think about it. I think about discovering solutions to aid my players to improve on small moments. Supporters' Anger Erupts Celtic’s support voiced their fury – directed at the hierarchy – by gathering at full time. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to return to the interim manager, who steered the club during a caretaker period before Nancy was hired, if the Frenchman were sacked. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. That is the situation for the moment. Yet when I say this is the reality, I am not saying that I am a defeatist guy. No. My point is we are really close, imminently close to change the narrative.” “Really, Really Close” He continues to cling to the fact his team can perform strongly for one half at a time. Indeed, if not for missed chances they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit except the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but it's important to stay fair. “The performance we had at certain moments was of top quality. That is a fact. I could not speak so positively if it was different. But that’s why, in terms of results, I noted we've seen this before. That’s why I said that we are nearly there to things turning around. Right now: the fine margins.” “I saw many, many good things that we did, once more. The issue now comes down to performing for 90 minutes. My outlook would change the same. That’s why I firmly believe we will manage to fix this.” Opposition Reaction Outlook Rangers manager was cautious about a title charge even after what appeared to be a huge result. “One match at a time, and we can gradually build a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the squad is excellent.”
