Things haven’t gone to plan for Wilfried Nancy in his Celtic career.
Celtic’s 3-0 loss against Roma added to the misery following the defeat in the top-of-the-table clash with Hearts just days before.
Nancy has urged supporters not to panic but the Bhoys faithful made their feelings clear with boos at half time and full time.
It is still early days, though, and he isn’t the only manager to make a rocky start. However, that defeat on Thursday means that the Frenchman has added himself into the record books for all of the wrong reasons.

Wilfried Nancy does something no Celtic manager has done before
The 48-year-old was hoping to enter the record books for all of the right reasons, but he’s gone in for the wrong reasons.
Defeat on Thursday means that Nancy is the first manager in Celtic’s history to lose their first two games in charge.
It is a damaging statistic and won’t do him any favours as the Frenchman bids to win over the fans.
Should they fall short in the Premier Sports Cup final against St Mirren on Sunday, then the pressure will really ramp up.
