Wilfried Nancy has to win this weekend or face the possibility of being sacked.

Some Celtic fans have already lost patience with the Frenchman after the Hoops’ 2-1 loss to Dundee United midweek.

It leaves the Bhoys six points behind league leaders Hearts, with a game in hand, but form suggests that the Hoops are not looking like they are going to turn that around.

As it’s the final game before Christmas, a win would certainly help lift the spirits and could finally give Nancy a platform to build off.

Ahead of this weekend’s game, here is everything you need to know about the game.
