The under-pressure manager stated he had no concerns about the sack, claiming, “We are very near to changing our fortunes,” in the wake of moving dangerously close to the exit with a convincing setback against Rangers.

A Second-Half Collapse Results in Old Firm Loss

The Hoops were ahead Rangers at half-time but a disastrous second period allowed the Gers to draw level on points with the current Scottish Premiership champions. Nancy, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now overseen six defeats in his last eight games.

“The board and I are united with the board,” stated Nancy.

Asked directly about the speculation, he responded: “It’s not on my mind. I think about discovering solutions to get the team to be good on small moments.

Fan Fury On Display

Hundreds of supporters made their feelings clear – aimed at the board and manager – in their hundreds at full time. Club directors are reportedly likely to bring back the interim manager, who had a fruitful interim spell last year, should a change be made.

Focus on the Details

He continues to cling to the fact his team play well for a half at a time. For instance, but for wastefulness in front of goal they might have been greater than 1-0 up. “There were positives except the fact that we didn't take our chances,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I must remain balanced.

“The level we had at times was really, really, really high. This is the reality. And I would not say that if it was different. But that’s why, in terms of results, I noted we've seen this before. Which is why I said that a change is coming to getting it right. But for the moment: the fine margins.”

“There were plenty of positives that we did, like today again. The issue now is consistency. My outlook would be different the same. That’s why I am a big believer we will manage to fix this.”

Röhl’s Cautious Stance

Danny Röhl played down talk of a championship push despite what felt like a statement victory. “Step by step, then we can really build up a challenge,” he said. “The faith in the group is immense.”
