"I don't believe in luck, but since I've been here I haven't had luck," Nancy said. "It's true because when we played Hearts, the way they scored the goal, and then after that against Roma we missed a penalty. "We have hit the post in almost every game, but the most important thing is the resilience of my players. I'm really proud of what they did because they had so many big chances and suddenly against 10 men you concede a goal like this."
"Their heads could have gone down but they didn't. They kept attacking. "Attack, attack, attack, waves, waves, waves. "The two goals we scored were the reward for the grit and the resilience that they showed. The fact that we had lost so many games and they were still able to come back was something I really enjoyed seeing."
Wilfried Nancy recorded his first win as Celtic manager as the Hoops beat 10-man Aberdeen 3-1 at Parkhead. Benjamin Nygren opened the scoring in the 39th minute. Aberdeen defender Dylan Lobban was shown a straight red before half-time for a foul on Daizen Maeda following a goalkeeper error by Dimitar Mitov. Kenan Bilalovic levelled in the 74th minute after coming off the bench, but late goals from Kieran Tierney and substitute James Forrest secured the victory. The result moved Celtic within six points of Hearts, with a game in hand. Nancy praised the players' grit and resilience after a difficult start.
