"For my players, yes. And for the fans, yes. "Yes, I would like to win the trophy. I'm pretty sure that, if we don't win it, it's going to be difficult, because when we lose, this is painful." "But, again, I am optimistic as a person. So hopefully we're going to do it. And also if it's going to validate what we are doing.""
"Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy says victory in Sunday's Premier Sports Cup final against St Mirren would "validate" what he is trying to implement at his new club. But he insists he will have "many other" chances to prove himself to their supporters. Nancy became the first Celtic boss to lose his first two matches in charge as they were swatted aside by Roma in the Europa League on Thursday following last weekend's Scottish Premiership defeat by Heart of Midlothian."
Wilfried Nancy says winning the Premier Sports Cup would validate the methods he is implementing at Celtic and would matter for players and fans. He acknowledges early setbacks after losing his first two matches in charge, including a Europa League defeat by Roma and a Premiership loss to Hearts. Supporters expressed frustration and some left early, and some fans questioned the timing of his appointment. Nancy says he remains optimistic, not focused on a potential third defeat, and believes he will have many further opportunities to demonstrate his capabilities after switching the team to a back three.
