Overview
- Motherwell beat Celtic 2-0 at Fir Park in their first home victory over the champions since 2013, and the players were booed off.
- The defeat was Wilfried Nancy’s fifth in seven matches, with Celtic still without a clean sheet under him and only three points ahead of Rangers before Saturday’s derby.
- Ibrahim Said headed the opener and Elliot Watt scored the second after Kasper Schmeichel’s loose pass was seized upon by Elijah Just.
- Nancy said he remains confident he can improve Celtic and dismissed the notion that the derby is a defining match for his tenure.
- Pundits described the weekend fixture as vital for Nancy and reports pointed to growing calls for change, with Martin O’Neill frequently mentioned as a potential replacement.
