Unbowed Nancy shows no fear of the sack however the Parkhead faithful unleash wrath following defeat.

Wilfried Nancy insisted he had no concerns about the sack, asserting, “I believe we are extremely close to things turning around,” in the wake of sliding worryingly close to the chopping block with a comprehensive loss to the Ibrox side.

Another Meltdown Sees Derby Disaster

The home side were ahead the visitors at half-time but a second-half capitulation enabled Danny Röhl’s team to pull level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was hired from the MLS, has now been in charge for six defeats in eight matches.

“The board and I are united with the board,” said Nancy.

Asked directly about whether he was concerned, the 48-year-old responded: “I don’t think about it. I think about working out methods to get the team to improve on the fine details.

Fan Fury Outside Parkhead

Hundreds of supporters voiced their fury – directed at the board and manager – in their hundreds at full time. Club directors are reportedly likely to re-appoint the former boss, who enjoyed a successful temporary stint last year, if the Frenchman were sacked.

“It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the situation for the moment. But in stating that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am giving up. No. My point is we are on the cusp, imminently close to reverse our form.”

Focus on the Details

The coach highlights the fact his team play well for one half at a time. For instance, but for missed chances they could have been greater than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit except the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but it's important to stay balanced.

“The level we had at certain moments was exceptionally high. This is the reality. I wouldn't say that if it was untrue. Therefore, in terms of results, I said it's a repeating pattern. Which is why I said that we are really close to things turning around. Currently: the fine margins.”

“There were many, many good things that we did, once more. The issue now comes down to sustaining it. My outlook would not be if it was not the case. This is why I am convinced the team can to get back on track.”

Röhl’s Cautious Response

The victorious boss was cautious about a serious challenge even after what felt like a landmark win. “One match at a time, and we can really build up a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the squad is outstanding.”
