Wilfried Nancy stated he was not afraid of the sack, maintaining, “We are extremely close to a turnaround,” even after moving dangerously close to the exit with a comprehensive loss to Rangers.

Another Capitulation Sees Old Firm Loss

The Hoops were in front the visitors at the interval but a collapse after the break allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the defending league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was brought in from the MLS, has now overseen six setbacks in his last eight fixtures.

“We are together at the club,” stated Nancy.

Questioned about whether he was concerned, he said: “It’s not on my mind. I think about discovering solutions to aid my players to improve on details.

Protest Outside Parkhead

Hundreds of supporters voiced their fury – aimed at the hierarchy – in their hundreds outside the stadium. The board are thought to be considering to bring back the interim manager, who steered the club during a temporary stint previously, if the Frenchman were sacked.

“Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. That is the situation for the moment. Yet by saying that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am giving up. No. What I mean the turnaround is near, extremely close to change the narrative.”

Nancy’s Persistent Belief

He highlights the fact the side play well for 45 minutes at a time. For instance, were it not for wastefulness in front of goal they would have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we haven’t scored a second goal,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I have also to be objective.

“The performance we had at times was really, really, really high. That happened. And I would not speak so positively if it was different. But that’s why, when it comes to wins, I noted we've seen this before. For that reason I feel we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. Right now: small things.”

“I saw plenty of positives that we did, as was the case today. However is consistency. My outlook would change if I didn't believe it. That’s why I am a big believer we will manage to turn things around.”

The Rangers Boss Stance

Danny Röhl refused to contemplate a serious challenge even after what appeared to be a huge result. “One match at a time, then we can gradually build something here,” he said. “The faith in the squad is immense.”
