Motherwell Beat Celtic 2–0 as Pressure Mounts on Nancy Before Old Firm

Bookmakers have installed Martin O’Neill as the leading candidate should Celtic make a change.

Overview

  • Celtic fell at Fir Park to goals from Ibrahim Said and Elliott Watt, with the second coming after Kasper Schmeichel’s misplaced pass was punished.
  • Tuesday’s result marked Wilfried Nancy’s fifth defeat in seven matches, a run highlighted by the absence of a clean sheet since his appointment.
  • Nancy insisted he remains confident in improving the team and said he is not thinking about his future, while signalling that the January window is a tool he intends to use.
  • Pundits and supporters intensified criticism after the display, with Chris Sutton calling Saturday’s Old Firm a vital examination and many fans urging the club to act.
  • Rangers visit Parkhead this weekend with the chance to draw level on points with Celtic, a prospect made real by their recent upturn under Danny Rohl.
