"Everybody knows Kieran [Tierney]," he added. "I knew him before I came here. He's an important player for us. There are different kinds of personalities. Kieran is not a vocal leader, but shows on the pitch."
"Callum [McGregor] also shows on the pitch, but he's a vocal leader, too. We have other players like this. When I talk about personalities, it's not only to be vocal, it's to have the right attitude when it is difficult. This means when we attack, can we keep showing ourselves for each other, can we still press, or can we defend like crazy in the moment? It's more about attitude for me. This is what I am looking for."
Wilfried Nancy took charge of Celtic earlier this month and lost his first four matches. He recorded his first victory with a 3-1 win over Aberdeen, but Celtic remain six points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts. The January transfer window opens Thursday, offering a chance to strengthen the squad. Nancy plans to target players with personality and the right attitude. Personality includes both vocal leadership and leading by example. Examples in the current squad include Kieran Tierney, who leads by example, and Callum McGregor, who combines on-field performance with vocal leadership. Nancy prioritizes players who show for teammates, sustain pressing, and defend intensely when needed.
