The Celtic boss insisted he was not afraid of dismissal, asserting, “We are really close to changing our fortunes,” even after edging perilously close to being fired with a comprehensive defeat by the Ibrox side.
Celtic were ahead the visitors at the break but a disastrous second period allowed the Gers to pull level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was brought in in December, has now overseen six defeats in eight fixtures.
“The board and I are united at the club,” stated Nancy.
Questioned about his own future, he responded: “I don’t think about it. I concentrate on finding ways to aid my players to be good on small moments.
Hundreds of supporters displayed their anger – directed at the dugout and directors – in their hundreds at full time. The board are thought to be considering to re-appoint the interim manager, who had a fruitful interim spell last year, if Nancy departs.
“Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the reality for the moment. Yet when I say that’s how it is, that is not a sign that I am a defeatist guy. No. What I mean we are on the cusp, really, really close to change the narrative.”
He continues to cling to the fact the side show good levels for 45 minutes at a time. In fact, but for missed chances they would have been greater than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit aside from the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but it's important to stay fair.
“The level we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. That happened. And I would not say that if it was different. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I noted we've seen this before. That’s why I feel a change is coming to getting it right. Currently: the fine margins.”
“There were many, many good things that we did, like today again. The issue now comes down to sustaining it. My narrative would be different if it was not the case. That’s why I am convinced the team can to turn things around.”
Danny Röhl played down talk of a serious challenge despite what felt like a statement victory. “One match at a time, then we can really build up something here,” he said. “The belief in the team is excellent.”
