Another Meltdown Sees Derby Disaster

The home side were in front their oldest rivals at the break but a collapse after the break enabled Rangers to draw level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six defeats in eight matches.

Focus on the Details

The coach continues to cling to the fact Celtic can perform strongly for one half at a time. In fact, but for poor finishing they could have been better than 1-0 up. “There were positives aside from the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I have also to be balanced.

“The standard we had at certain moments was of top quality. That happened. I could not talk like that if it was not the case. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I mentioned this is the same story. For that reason I believe we are nearly there to getting it right. Currently: the fine margins.”

“There were plenty of positives that we did, once more. However comes down to sustaining it. My outlook would be different the same. That’s why I am a big believer we’re going to be able to turn things around.”

The Rangers Boss Stance
