The under-pressure manager declared he did not fear the sack, asserting, “We are extremely close to changing our fortunes,” even after moving dangerously close to the exit with a convincing setback against Rangers.

Another Meltdown Sees Derby Disaster

The home side were in front Rangers at the break but a collapse after the break allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. The former MLS manager, who was appointed from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six setbacks in eight matches.

“We are together at the club,” stated the manager.

Asked directly about his own future, the 48-year-old replied: “It’s not on my mind. I think about working out methods to help my team to be good on small moments.

Fan Fury Outside Parkhead

The fans voiced their fury – aimed at the board and manager – in their hundreds at Parkhead. The hierarchy are thought to be considering to re-appoint the former boss, who enjoyed a successful temporary stint 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. Yet by saying that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am a defeatist guy. Not at all. The message is we are really close, extremely close to reverse our form.”

Focus on the Details

Nancy continues to cling to the fact the side play well for 45 minutes at a time. In fact, but for missed chances they could have been more than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we haven’t scored our chances,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I have also to be objective.

“The standard we had at stages was of top quality. This is the reality. And I would not speak so positively if it was untrue. That is the reason, in terms of results, I said we've seen this before. That’s why I feel 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 it’s about consistency. My outlook would not be if I didn't believe it. Therefore I am convinced the team can to turn things around.”

The Rangers Boss Stance

Danny Röhl refused to contemplate a serious challenge despite what seemed like a statement victory. “Step by step, so we can really build up something here,” he said. “The faith in the group is excellent.”
