🔗 Share this article Defiant Nancy shows no fear of dismissal but the Parkhead faithful show fury following defeat. The Celtic boss stated he was not afraid of dismissal, asserting, “The team is really close to changing our fortunes,” in the wake of edging perilously close to the exit with a comprehensive loss to their arch-rivals. Another Collapse Leads to Old Firm Disaster The home side were in front their oldest rivals at the break but a collapse after the break allowed the Gers to draw level on points with the defending league title holders. Nancy, who was brought in from the MLS, has now presided over six losses in his first eight fixtures. “There is unity at the club,” said the manager. Questioned about whether he was concerned, the 48-year-old replied: “It’s not on my mind. My focus is on finding ways to get the team to improve on details. Fan Fury Erupts The fans voiced their fury – towards the board and manager – in their hundreds at full time. The board would be most likely to bring back the interim manager, who steered the club during a interim spell last year, should a change be made. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. However by saying that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am pessimistic. No. My point is the turnaround is near, extremely close to reverse our form.” “Really, Really Close” He continues to cling to the fact his team play well for one half at a time. In fact, but for missed chances they would have been more than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit other than the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I must remain objective. “The standard we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. That happened. And I would not say that if it was untrue. That is the reason, in terms of results, I mentioned it's a repeating pattern. That’s why I feel we are really close to getting it right. Right now: details, details, details.” “We produced many, many good things that we did, like today again. But now is sustaining it. My message would be different if I didn't believe it. That’s why I firmly believe we’re going to be able to turn things around.” Opposition Reaction Response The victorious boss refused to contemplate a championship push despite what felt like a statement victory. “One match at a time, then we can really build up something here,” he said. “The confidence in the group is outstanding.”
