🔗 Share this article Defiant Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about the sack yet supporters display fury following derby defeat. Wilfried Nancy stated he had no concerns about losing his job, asserting, “I believe we are very near to things turning around,” despite edging perilously close to being fired with a heavy loss to the Ibrox side. Another Capitulation Results in Derby Loss The Hoops had led their oldest rivals at the break but a second-half capitulation enabled Rangers to move level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was appointed in December, has now presided over six losses in his first eight fixtures. “We are together at the club,” said the manager. Questioned about his own future, he replied: “It’s not on my mind. I think about working out methods to help my team to be good on small moments. Supporters' Anger On Display Celtic’s support made their feelings clear – directed at the board and manager – in their hundreds at Parkhead. The board would be most likely to bring back the interim manager, who steered the club during a caretaker period previously, if Nancy departs. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. So this is the truth for the moment. Yet by saying this is the reality, that is not a sign that I am a defeatist guy. No. My point is the turnaround is near, really, really close to turn things around.” Focus on the Details Nancy remains focused on the fact the side show good levels for a half at a time. In fact, were it not for poor finishing they would have been better than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit other than the fact that we missed a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but it's important to stay fair. “The standard we had at times was exceptionally high. This is the reality. I could not speak so positively if it was different. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I mentioned we've seen this before. That’s why I believe a change is coming to getting it right. Currently: small things.” “I saw plenty of positives that we did, as was the case today. But now is consistency. My narrative would not be if I didn't believe it. This is why I firmly believe the team can to turn things around.” Röhl’s Cautious Outlook Rangers manager played down talk of a championship push despite what seemed like a landmark win. “Step by step, and we can really build up something here,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is immense.”
