🔗 Share this article Defiant Nancy does not fear being fired but supporters display anger following derby defeat. Wilfried Nancy stated he did not fear the sack, maintaining, “I believe we are very near to things turning around,” even after moving dangerously close to the exit with a comprehensive loss to their arch-rivals. A Second-Half Capitulation Results in Old Firm Loss The home side were in front Rangers at half-time but a second-half capitulation allowed Rangers to move level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was appointed in December, has now overseen six setbacks in eight fixtures. “We are together with the board,” stated Nancy. Questioned about whether he was concerned, he replied: “It’s not on my mind. I think about discovering solutions to help my team to excel on the fine details. Fan Fury On Display Hundreds of supporters made their feelings clear – aimed at the hierarchy – by protesting at Parkhead. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to return to the interim manager, who steered the club during a caretaker period last year, should a change be made. “It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the reality for the moment. Yet in stating that’s how it is, I am not saying that I am giving up. No. My point is we are really close, extremely close to turn things around.” “Really, Really Close” The coach remains focused on the fact the side can perform strongly for one half at a time. In fact, if not for poor finishing they might have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough aside from the fact that we haven’t scored a second goal,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but it's important to stay balanced. “The performance we had at times was of top quality. This is the reality. I could not say that if it was untrue. Therefore, in terms of results, I noted it's a repeating pattern. That’s why I said that a change is coming to getting it right. Currently: the fine margins.” “We produced plenty of positives that we did, once more. The issue now it’s about sustaining it. My narrative would be different if it was not the case. That’s why I am convinced we will manage to fix this.” Opposition Reaction Stance Danny Röhl was cautious about a serious challenge even after what felt like a huge result. “We take it game by game, so we can gradually build momentum,” he said. “The belief in the team is immense.”
