'Nancy leaps to his own defence as he feels Old Firm heat'
"I know your job is to attack me, or to ask a lot of questions, no problem with that."
"My job is to be a coach, your job is to ask questions. If you want to judge me now, you can do it. I didn't have the results we wanted - it's a fact, I cannot deny that."
"The reality is, before I came, I knew if I didn't win games, I was going to be in trouble. This is part of the job. I'm pleased to be here and I know where we are now."
Wilfried Nancy has lost five of his seven matches since being appointed permanent Celtic manager, including defeats by Hearts, Dundee United, Roma and St Mirren.
