Celtic have announced that Wilfried Nancy has been sacked with immediate effect.

The Parkhead club have decided to part ways with the Frenchman 48 hours after Celtic lost to Rangers at Parkhead.

The defeat caused outrage as hundreds of Celtic supporters descended outside Parkhead to vent their anger at the board.

Celtic ‘thank’ Wilfried Nancy as backroom team are culled

The statement on Celtic’s official website reads, “Celtic Football Club today announces that it has decided to terminate the contract of manager Wilfried Nancy, with immediate effect.

“The Club thanks Wilfried for his efforts and wishes him and his family well for the future.

“Wilfried’s assistants, Kwame Ampadu, Jules Gueguen, and Maxime Chalier, will also be leaving the club and they take with them our good wishes.

“The Club can also confirm that Paul Tisdale has left his position as Head of Football Operations. We thank Paul for the contribution he has made in that role.

“A further update will be provided to supporters as soon as is practical.”

With no interim manager named, Celtic are rudderless on and off the pitch as the club lurches from one crisis to the next.

Not a word from Dermot Desmond or Michael Nicholson shows the lack of any real leadership at Celtic and now, the pressure and microscope falls squarely on the boardroom duo.
