“Wins and losses [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the situation for the moment. Yet by saying this is the reality, I am not saying that I am a defeatist guy. No. What I mean we are really close, extremely close to reverse our form.”

Focus on the Details

Nancy remains focused on the fact Celtic play well for one half at a time. For instance, were it not for wastefulness in front of goal they would have been better than 1-0 up. “I saw enough other than the fact that we didn't take a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but it's important to stay fair.

“The standard we had at stages was exceptionally high. That happened. I wouldn't talk like that if it was different. But that’s why, when it comes to wins, I said this is the same story. For that reason I said that we are nearly there to a shift in fortunes. Right now: details, details, details.”

“I saw many, many good things that we did, as was the case today. But now comes down to consistency. My narrative would be different if I didn't believe it. That’s why I am convinced we’re going to be able to fix this.”
