🔗 Share this article Bullish Wilfried Nancy does not fear the sack but supporters show anger following derby defeat. The under-pressure manager insisted he was not afraid of the sack, maintaining, “I believe we are really close to a turnaround,” despite edging perilously close to being fired with a comprehensive setback against the Ibrox side. A Second-Half Collapse Leads to Derby Disaster The Hoops were ahead Rangers at the break but a disastrous second period allowed the Gers to move level on points with the reigning Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was brought in in December, has now overseen six setbacks in eight matches. “We are together with the board,” said the manager. Pressed on the speculation, Nancy responded: “I don’t think about it. I concentrate on finding ways to help my team to excel on the fine details. Supporters' Anger Outside Parkhead Hundreds of supporters voiced their fury – directed at the hierarchy – by gathering outside the stadium. The board are reportedly likely to bring back the interim manager, who steered the club during a temporary stint before Nancy was hired, should a change be made. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. That is the situation for the moment. But in stating this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am giving up. Not at all. My point is the turnaround is near, extremely close to turn things around.” Focus on the Details Nancy highlights the fact the side show good levels for one half at a time. For instance, were it not for wastefulness in front of goal they would have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough other than the fact that we missed more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I must remain balanced. “The performance we had at certain moments was really, really, really high. That is a fact. And I would not talk like that if it was untrue. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I mentioned this is the same story. For that reason I believe we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. But for the moment: details, details, details.” “There were many, many good things that we did, like today again. However is consistency. My message would change if I didn't believe it. This is why I am a big believer we’re going to be able to get back on track.” Opposition Reaction Response Rangers manager played down talk of a championship push even after what felt like a huge result. “One match at a time, and we can gradually build something here,” he said. “The confidence in the group is immense.”
