Wilfried Nancy Begins Celtic Reign After Low-Key Unveiling, Faces Hearts in First Test

The former MLS champion stresses that early results will buy him time.

Overview

  • Celtic introduced Nancy at Lennoxtown without senior executives present, and the club misspelled his name in its stock exchange announcement.
  • He succeeds interim Martin O’Neill, whose five straight league wins pulled Celtic level on points with Hearts.
  • His first week features Hearts today, Roma on Thursday, and the Premier Sports Cup Final against St Mirren next weekend.
  • Nancy has brought trusted No. 2 Kwame Ampadu, citing his experience in the British game as vital to the transition.
  • He addressed the squad, praised captain Callum McGregor’s influence, and begins in a tense atmosphere with the Green Brigade ban extended.
