🔗 Share this article Defiant Celtic's manager does not fear the sack but the Parkhead faithful show fury after defeat. The under-pressure manager insisted he had no concerns about losing his job, maintaining, “The team is extremely close to changing our fortunes,” despite edging perilously close to the exit with a comprehensive loss to the Ibrox side. Another Collapse Sees Old Firm Disaster The Hoops were in front Rangers at the break but a disastrous second period let Danny Röhl’s team to pull level on points with the reigning league title holders. Nancy, who was brought in in December, has now overseen six setbacks in his first eight matches. “The board and I are united at the club,” insisted the manager.

Supporters' Anger Outside Parkhead The fans made their feelings clear – towards the hierarchy – in their hundreds outside the stadium. The board would be most likely to re-appoint the interim manager, who enjoyed a successful caretaker period previously, if the Frenchman were sacked. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the situation for the moment. But when I say this is the reality, that is not a sign that I am pessimistic. No. The message is we are on the cusp, extremely close to turn things around.” “Really, Really Close” He remains focused on the fact his team show good levels for a half at a time. In fact, but for wastefulness in front of goal they might have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough other than the fact that we missed a second goal,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain objective. “The level we had at times was exceptionally high. That is a fact. And I would not say that if it was not the case. That is the reason, when it comes to wins, I mentioned we've seen this before. For that reason I said that a change is coming to getting it right. Currently: details, details, details.” “We produced plenty of positives that we did, as was the case today. But now is sustaining it. My outlook would change if I didn't believe it. That’s why I firmly believe we will manage to get back on track.” Opposition Reaction Outlook The victorious boss refused to contemplate a championship push in spite of what felt like a statement victory. “We take it game by game, so we can gradually build something here,” he said. “The faith in the group is excellent.”
