Wilfried Nancy is in real danger of being sacked by Celtic after losing for the fourth time in a row against Dundee United.
Celtic were beaten 2-1 despite taking the lead in the first half through Daizen Maeda to leave the Frenchman with a 100 per cent loss record since taking the reins.
This latest setback comes hours after Michael Nicholson threw his support behind Nancy but, if he thinks the fans are onside, they might want to rethink.
Large sections of the away support at Tannadice could be heard singing ‘Nancy, get to —-‘, as well as Martin O’Neill’s name.

Nobody predicted this sort of drop-off but there will naturally be inquests into how a move has gone so badly, so quickly.
Facing the Sky Sports cameras after the loss, Nancy was asked about the songs directed his way and admitted he could understand the frustration but has refused to give up and told the fans to continue to support them.
He said: “In terms of results it’s tough. But in terms of possibility to win games, we are there.
“We are on the right track, but this is not enough – I know that. We all want to win, but I’m confident because of the game we played and every time I see an improvement.
What would your message be to Wilfried Nancy?
“In terms of result that is still not enough.
“I know they are upset. But we are close to winning games. At the moment, we are not able to do it.
“But the players are giving everything, we try to find solutions for it and we are having many situations to score goals. But we didn’t, we’re still working and after that we’ll see if we can have this win.”
