The Celtic boss stated he had no concerns about losing his job, maintaining, “The team is extremely close to changing our fortunes,” despite sliding worryingly close to being fired with a heavy setback against their arch-rivals.

Another Collapse Sees Old Firm Disaster

The home side had led the visitors at half-time but a collapse after the break enabled Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now overseen six losses in his first eight games.

“We are together with the board,” said Nancy.

Questioned about the speculation, he replied: “That’s not my focus. I think about discovering solutions to aid my players to improve on small moments.

Protest On Display

Hundreds of supporters made their feelings clear – aimed at the hierarchy – in their hundreds outside the stadium. Club directors are thought to be considering to re-appoint the former boss, who enjoyed a successful caretaker period previously, should a change be made.

“Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. So this is the situation for the moment. Yet by saying that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am pessimistic. No. What I mean the turnaround is near, extremely close to change the narrative.”

Nancy’s Persistent Belief

He continues to cling to the fact Celtic play well for one half at a time. For instance, but for missed chances they could have been more than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit aside from the fact that we missed more goals,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I have also to be objective.

“The performance we had at certain moments was of top quality. That happened. And I would not speak so positively if it was different. But that’s why, regarding outcomes, I said this is the same story. That’s why I believe we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. Currently: small things.”

“We produced many, many good things that we did, as was the case today. But now comes down to consistency. My message would be different the same. This is why I firmly believe the team can to turn things around.”

The Rangers Boss Stance

Danny Röhl refused to contemplate a serious challenge in spite of what felt like a statement victory. “Step by step, then we can gradually build momentum,” he said. “The faith in the group is immense.”
