🔗 Share this article Bullish Celtic's manager insists he is not worried about the sack but Celtic fans unleash wrath following derby defeat. The under-pressure manager declared he did not fear losing his job, asserting, “I believe we are extremely close to changing our fortunes,” in the wake of edging perilously close to the exit with a heavy loss to Rangers. Another Meltdown Leads to Old Firm Disaster The home side were in front their oldest rivals at the break but a collapse after the break enabled Rangers to pull level on points with the defending league title holders. Nancy, who was hired from Columbus Crew, has now been in charge for six setbacks in eight matches. “The board and I are united at the club,” insisted Nancy. Questioned about whether he was concerned, Nancy replied: “It’s not on my mind. I think about finding ways to help my team to be good on the fine details. Supporters' Anger Erupts The fans made their feelings clear – directed at the board and manager – by gathering at Parkhead. The hierarchy are reportedly likely to bring back Martin O’Neill, who steered the club during a temporary stint last year, should a change be made. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the situation for the moment. But by saying that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am a defeatist guy. Absolutely not. The message is we are really close, extremely close to reverse our form.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief He highlights the fact Celtic can perform strongly for a half at a time. In fact, if not for missed chances they could have been more than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit aside from the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I have also to be fair. “The performance we had at stages was of top quality. That happened. And I would not speak so positively if it was different. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I said it's a repeating pattern. That’s why I believe we are really close to things turning around. But for the moment: the fine margins.” “I saw plenty of positives that we did, once more. The issue now is sustaining it. My outlook would change if I didn't believe it. This is why I am a big believer the team can to turn things around.” Röhl’s Cautious Outlook Danny Röhl was cautious about a championship push in spite of what seemed like a landmark win. “Step by step, so we can develop momentum,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is outstanding.”
