Wilfried Nancy stated he was not afraid of losing his job, maintaining, “We are very near to things turning around,” even after moving dangerously close to being fired with a comprehensive loss to the Ibrox side.

A Second-Half Capitulation Sees Derby Disaster

The Hoops were in front the visitors at half-time but a collapse after the break enabled the Gers to pull level on points with the current league title holders. Nancy, who was brought in from Columbus Crew, has now presided over six defeats in eight matches.

“There is unity at the club,” stated Nancy.

Questioned about his own future, Nancy said: “That’s not my focus. My focus is on working out methods to get the team to excel on the fine details.

Fan Fury Erupts

Hundreds of supporters voiced their fury – aimed at the hierarchy – by protesting outside the stadium. Club directors are thought to be considering to return to the former boss, who steered the club during a temporary stint last year, if the Frenchman were sacked.

“The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. But when I say this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am pessimistic. No. The message is we are really close, imminently close to reverse our form.”

“Really, Really Close”

The coach highlights the fact the side play well for a half at a time. For instance, but for missed chances they could have been more than 1-0 up. “I saw enough except the fact that we haven’t scored a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but I must remain fair.

“The performance we had at stages was of top quality. That is a fact. I wouldn't say that if it was different. That is the reason, regarding outcomes, I noted we've seen this before. Which is why I believe we are really close to things turning around. Right now: details, details, details.”

“There were many, many good things that we did, as was the case today. But now comes down to consistency. My narrative would be different if I didn't believe it. That’s why I am a big believer the team can to get back on track.”

Opposition Reaction Outlook

Danny Röhl refused to contemplate a championship push despite what seemed like a statement victory. “Step by step, and we can gradually build momentum,” he said. “The belief in the team is outstanding.”
