🔗 Share this article Unbowed Nancy does not fear being fired yet the Parkhead faithful show anger following derby defeat. The Celtic boss insisted he had no concerns about the sack, claiming, “I believe we are extremely close to changing our fortunes,” despite edging perilously close to the exit with a convincing loss to the Ibrox side. Another Collapse Leads to Derby Disaster The home side were ahead the visitors at the break but a disastrous second period enabled the Gers to draw level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was brought in in December, has now overseen six setbacks in eight games. “There is unity with the board,” said the manager. Questioned about the speculation, Nancy replied: “I don’t think about it. I think about discovering solutions to help my team to be good on details. Supporters' Anger On Display Celtic’s support displayed their anger – aimed at the dugout and directors – in their hundreds at full time. The hierarchy would be most likely to return to the former boss, who steered the club during a temporary stint last year, if Nancy departs. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. That is the truth for the moment. But when I say that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am giving up. Not at all. What I mean the turnaround is near, imminently close to reverse our form.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief Nancy highlights the fact his team show good levels for one half at a time. For instance, but for poor finishing they would have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough other than the fact that we haven’t scored a second goal,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I must remain fair. “The level we had at certain moments was of top quality. This is the reality. I could not talk like that if it was untrue. That is the reason, regarding outcomes, I mentioned we've seen this before. That’s why I believe we are nearly there to getting it right. Right now: details, details, details.” “There were plenty of positives that we did, once more. However is consistency. My message would be different the same. This is why I firmly believe we’re going to be able to get back on track.” Opposition Reaction Stance The victorious boss played down talk of a serious challenge even after what seemed like a huge result. “We take it game by game, then we can develop something here,” he said. “The confidence in the group is excellent.”
