The Celtic boss insisted he had no concerns about dismissal, asserting, “We are very near to things turning around,” despite moving dangerously close to the exit with a heavy setback against their arch-rivals.
The Hoops had led their oldest rivals at half-time but a second-half capitulation allowed the Gers to draw level on points with the current league title holders. The former MLS manager, who was brought in in December, has now been in charge for six losses in eight matches.
“There is unity with the board,” stated the manager.
Questioned about whether he was concerned, the 48-year-old replied: “That’s not my focus. I concentrate on discovering solutions to aid my players to be good on details.
Celtic’s support displayed their anger – towards the dugout and directors – by protesting at Parkhead. The hierarchy would be most likely to re-appoint the former boss, who enjoyed a successful caretaker period before Nancy was hired, should a change be made.
“It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. So this is the truth for the moment. However in stating that’s how it is, I am not saying that I am a defeatist guy. Not at all. What I mean the turnaround is near, imminently close to change the narrative.”
The coach remains focused on the fact Celtic can perform strongly for 45 minutes at a time. For instance, but for wastefulness in front of goal they might have been better than 1-0 up. “There were positives aside from the fact that we didn't take more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain balanced.
“The performance we had at times was exceptionally high. That happened. I wouldn't talk like that if it was not the case. Therefore, regarding outcomes, I mentioned it's a repeating pattern. That’s why I said that we are really close to a shift in fortunes. But for the moment: small things.”
“I saw a lot of encouraging signs that we did, like today again. However comes down to performing for 90 minutes. My outlook would be different if I didn't believe it. Therefore I am a big believer the team can to fix this.”
Rangers manager refused to contemplate a serious challenge despite what appeared to be a huge result. “We take it game by game, so we can develop a challenge,” he said. “The confidence in the squad is immense.”
