"At the fifth time of trying, the Frenchman oversaw his first victory after four wretched defeats across the Scottish Premiership, League Cup and Europa League. It keeps them within six points of leaders Hearts, having played a game fewer, and was likely as deserved a win as he has ever achieved given just how dominant his side were against Aberdeen at Celtic Park. For 20 second-half minutes, Celtic were scintillating."
"With 31 shots on goal, 10 on target and an xG (expected goals) of 4.5, Celtic should have been out of sight. The only thing for supporters to worry about should have been some last-minute Christmas shopping. But when Kenan Bilalovic thudded his shot under Kasper Schmeichel to draw 10-man Aberdeen inexplicably level with 16 minutes to remaining, concerns were firmly focused on Nancy again."
Wilfried Nancy recorded his first victory as Celtic manager on his fifth match after four consecutive defeats across domestic and European competitions. The win left Celtic six points behind Hearts with a game in hand and followed a dominant display at Celtic Park. The team produced an exceptional 20-minute second-half spell, creating numerous chances with 31 shots, 10 on target and an xG of 4.5. Despite the superiority, a late strike from Kenan Bilalovic for ten-man Aberdeen levelled the score with 16 minutes remaining, prompting renewed scrutiny of Nancy's position and the demand for consistent improvement.
