🔗 Share this article Defiant Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about being fired but the Parkhead faithful show fury after defeat. The Celtic boss stated he had no concerns about the sack, asserting, “I believe we are very near to changing our fortunes,” even after edging perilously close to the exit with a convincing defeat by their arch-rivals. Another Capitulation Results in Derby Defeat Celtic were in front Rangers at the interval but a second-half capitulation enabled the Gers to pull level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was brought in from the MLS, has now overseen six defeats in his first eight fixtures. “The board and I are united at the club,” insisted the manager. Questioned about whether he was concerned, the 48-year-old replied: “I don’t think about it. I think about working out methods to get the team to be good on the fine details. Supporters' Anger Erupts Celtic’s support voiced their fury – directed at the hierarchy – in their hundreds outside the stadium. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to re-appoint the interim manager, who enjoyed a successful temporary stint before Nancy was hired, should a change be made. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. Yet when I say this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am a defeatist guy. Absolutely not. What I mean we are really close, really, really close to change the narrative.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief Nancy highlights the fact Celtic play well for one half at a time. For instance, but for wastefulness in front of goal they might have been more than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I have also to be balanced. “The level we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. This is the reality. I wouldn't speak so positively if it was different. But that’s why, in terms of results, I mentioned we've seen this before. For that reason I believe we are nearly there to getting it right. Right now: small things.” “I saw many, many good things that we did, as was the case today. However it’s about consistency. My outlook would change if it was not the case. Therefore I am a big believer we will manage to turn things around.” Röhl’s Cautious Response Rangers manager played down talk of a championship push even after what felt like a landmark win. “Step by step, so we can gradually build something here,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is immense.”
