"We are struggling, conceded a few goals from set-pieces. We had to come from behind; we saw a good reaction. We had many opportunities inside the box to be better. When things don't go the way we want, we need to stick to what we do and play with more desire to play forward. I want to help the players with that."
"The results always count, but I have to see beyond the result; I have to see what we need to do better to get a complete performance. This is something I discuss with the players, and I think we're going to be able to do it. It's totally normal [the fans] are questioning me, but I think I showed them that we can do better. I showed them the direction I want to go."
Celtic lost 3-1 to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final after Marcus Fraser opened the scoring and Jonah Ayunga scored twice following a Reo Hatate equaliser. The victory represented St Mirren's second League Cup title and first in 13 years, while Celtic suffered a 16th final defeat. Wilfried Nancy began his Celtic tenure with consecutive defeats in the Premiership and Europa League before this loss, extending a three-match losing streak. Nancy accepts the challenge, acknowledges defensive set-piece issues and poor results, and expresses confidence that the team can improve and deliver the desired direction.
