"It is very easy to root for Wilfried Nancy. A likable, passionate individual whose career has taken him from unheralded player to the forefront of a club the size of Celtic should be worthy of high praise. It also feels only two games into the Frenchman's tenure in Glasgow that he requires all the support he can get. Nancy will receive that backing from the stands."
"Nancy stood alone with his thoughts for much of Celtic's humbling at the hands of Roma. He will encounter an even bigger gap between dugout and touchline at Hampden Park on Sunday as Celtic hope to navigate choppy waters by lifting the League Cup. A game that could ordinarily be shrugged off as a competitive non-event Celtic's resource dwarfs that of St Mirren suddenly carries huge significance."
Wilfried Nancy is a likable, passionate manager who moved from unheralded player to manage Celtic. He has received fan backing despite initial outcry when his appointment was proposed. Nancy suffered a heavy defeat to Roma and has lost his first two matches, becoming the first Celtic manager to start with two straight losses. The League Cup final at Hampden gains unexpected importance as Celtic seek momentum. Celtic Park lacked atmosphere during the Roma match. The squad has declined noticeably over the past year and shows regression. The situation is not easily remedied and will draw wider attention if poor results continue.
