🔗 Share this article Defiant Nancy does not fear the sack however the Parkhead faithful show wrath following loss. Wilfried Nancy declared he did not fear the sack, claiming, “The team is extremely close to things turning around,” despite edging perilously close to the chopping block with a heavy setback against the Ibrox side. Another Capitulation Sees Derby Defeat Celtic had led the visitors at the interval but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now been in charge for six defeats in his last eight games. “The board and I are united at the club,” said Nancy. Pressed on whether he was concerned, he replied: “That’s not my focus. My focus is on discovering solutions to get the team to be good on the fine details. Supporters' Anger On Display The fans made their feelings clear – directed at the board and manager – by gathering outside the stadium. Club directors would be most likely to re-appoint the interim manager, who enjoyed a successful caretaker period before Nancy was hired, if Nancy departs. “Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the situation for the moment. Yet in stating that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am pessimistic. Not at all. What I mean we are really close, imminently close to change the narrative.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief Nancy remains focused on the fact his team play well for a half at a time. In fact, but for poor finishing they could have been greater than 1-0 up. “I saw enough aside from the fact that we missed more goals,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but it's important to stay objective. “The standard we had at certain moments was exceptionally high. This is the reality. I could not speak so positively if it was untrue. Therefore, regarding outcomes, I mentioned this is the same story. For that reason I said that we are really close to a shift in fortunes. Currently: small things.” “I saw many, many good things that we did, once more. However is sustaining it. My outlook would be different if I didn't believe it. That’s why I am a big believer we will manage to turn things around.” Röhl’s Cautious Stance The victorious boss refused to contemplate a serious challenge even after what felt like a statement victory. “One match at a time, then we can develop a challenge,” he said. “The faith in the group is excellent.”
