🔗 Share this article Unbowed Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about dismissal yet Celtic fans unleash fury following defeat. The under-pressure manager insisted he did not fear dismissal, maintaining, “The team is very near to changing our fortunes,” despite moving dangerously close to the chopping block with a convincing defeat by the Ibrox side. Another Capitulation Sees Derby Defeat Celtic were in front Rangers at half-time but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was appointed from the MLS, has now presided over six losses in his first eight games. “The board and I are united at the club,” stated Nancy. Asked directly about whether he was concerned, the 48-year-old replied: “I don’t think about it. I think about discovering solutions to help my team to improve on small moments. Protest Outside Parkhead Celtic’s support made their feelings clear – directed at the hierarchy – by gathering outside the stadium. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to bring back the interim manager, who enjoyed a successful caretaker period previously, if the Frenchman were sacked. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. That is the reality for the moment. Yet in stating this is the reality, I am not saying that I am giving up. No. My point is we are on the cusp, really, really close to turn things around.” “Really, Really Close” Nancy remains focused on the fact the side play well for one half at a time. In fact, were it not for poor finishing they might have been better than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we haven’t scored more goals,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I must remain fair. “The level we had at times was of top quality. That is a fact. And I would not speak so positively if it was different. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I noted this is the same story. That’s why I believe a change is coming to a shift in fortunes. Right now: the fine margins.” “There were a lot of encouraging signs that we did, once more. But now comes down to consistency. My narrative would change if I didn't believe it. Therefore I firmly believe we’re going to be able to fix this.” Opposition Reaction Response Rangers manager played down talk of a championship push despite what seemed like a statement victory. “Step by step, then we can really build up momentum,” he said. “The faith in the group is immense.”
