🔗 Share this article Bullish Celtic's manager shows no fear of the sack however supporters unleash anger after loss. Wilfried Nancy declared he was not afraid of the sack, claiming, “The team is really close to things turning around,” even after moving dangerously close to being fired with a comprehensive setback against the Ibrox side. A Second-Half Collapse Sees Derby Loss The home side had led their oldest rivals at half-time but a collapse after the break enabled Rangers to pull level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was hired from Columbus Crew, has now overseen six defeats in his first eight matches. “There is unity at the club,” said the manager. Pressed on whether he was concerned, he responded: “It’s not on my mind. I concentrate on discovering solutions to help my team to be good on small moments. Protest Outside Parkhead The fans voiced their fury – towards the board and manager – by protesting at full time. Club directors would be most likely to re-appoint the interim manager, who steered the club during a temporary stint before Nancy was hired, if Nancy departs. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. So this is the reality for the moment. However in stating this is the reality, that is not a sign that I am a defeatist guy. Absolutely not. The message is we are really close, imminently close to reverse our form.” “Really, Really Close” He continues to cling to the fact his team show good levels for a half at a time. In fact, if not for poor finishing they might have been better than 1-0 up. “I saw enough aside from the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I must remain objective. “The performance we had at times was really, really, really high. That happened. I could not say that if it was different. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I noted we've seen this before. That’s why I said that we are nearly there to things turning around. Currently: small things.” “There were many, many good things that we did, like today again. But now comes down to performing for 90 minutes. My narrative would change the same. That’s why I firmly believe we will manage to turn things around.” Röhl’s Cautious Response Rangers manager was cautious about a championship push in spite of what felt like a landmark win. “We take it game by game, then we can develop momentum,” he said. “The belief in the team is excellent.”
