🔗 Share this article Defiant Celtic's manager does not fear dismissal yet the Parkhead faithful show fury following derby defeat. The under-pressure manager stated he had no concerns about the sack, claiming, “The team is extremely close to things turning around,” in the wake of edging perilously close to the chopping block with a convincing defeat by Rangers. Another Capitulation Leads to Derby Disaster The Hoops were in front their oldest rivals at the interval but a disastrous second period enabled Danny Röhl’s team to pull level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was hired from the MLS, has now presided over six setbacks in his first eight matches. “The board and I are united with the board,” insisted Nancy. Questioned about his own future, Nancy responded: “That’s not my focus. I think about discovering solutions to get the team to excel on the fine details. Protest Erupts Celtic’s support made their feelings clear – towards the hierarchy – by protesting at full time. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to re-appoint the former boss, who had a fruitful caretaker period previously, should a change be made. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. However in stating this is the reality, that is not a sign that I am pessimistic. Not at all. The message is we are on the cusp, imminently close to turn things around.” Nancy’s Persistent Belief Nancy highlights the fact the side can perform strongly for one half at a time. In fact, if not for wastefulness in front of goal they might have been greater than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we haven’t scored our chances,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I have also to be balanced. “The standard we had at certain moments was of top quality. That happened. I could not speak so positively if it was not the case. Therefore, in terms of results, I said it's a repeating pattern. For that reason I feel a change is coming to things turning around. Currently: details, details, details.” “We produced a lot of encouraging signs that we did, once more. The issue now is consistency. My message would not be if it was not the case. That’s why I firmly believe we’re going to be able to get back on track.” Röhl’s Cautious Stance Rangers manager refused to contemplate a serious challenge despite what felt like a huge result. “Step by step, so we can gradually build something here,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is immense.”
