Wilfried Nancy, look away now because this is getting uglier.
Days after Celtic booted Nancy out of the door, you are starting to hear the problems that emerged during his chaotic 33-day stint in Glasgow.
From the get-go, there were issues, as was illustrated and portrayed during his debut game when Celtic were beaten by Hearts.
Everything continued to go downhill from there, apart from two wins, and that was against ten-man Aberdeen and bottom-of-the-table Livingston.
Thankfully, Celtic brought it all to an end when the Hoops were beaten by Rangers over the weekend, and now Michael Stewart has shared what he has been hearing from inside the dressing room.

What message would you send Wilfried Nancy as Celtic sack the manager?
Michael Stewart shares what happened behind the scenes at Celtic under Wilfried Nancy
Stewart has no affiliation with Celtic, yet he was raging at what he was being told about what happened behind the scenes under Nancy.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland (06/01/26), Stewart shared that ‘no instructions’ were being handed out by Nancy and his coaching staff to his players.
The former midfielder added that all of it was a ‘shambles’ and the Celtic players ‘didn’t know what he wanted.’
That will be no surprise to the Celtic fans because time and time again, the same issues were emerging, including the team looking clueless during the second half of matches.
When Stewart was going on his rant about Celtic’s woes under Nancy, BBC presenter Kenny Macintyre did ask, ‘What were you hearing from the players?’, and he agreed.
“Instinctively, we all just assumed that there were these magnificent instructions that were given,” said Stewart.
“But I am led to believe that there were no instructions. There was a lack of information. When you couple it with the whole system being changed.
“When the manager has come in, and as I said to you, I view it as arrogant to come in and think that you can rip everything up, change it, play the league leaders two days later, and expect that you are going to get results.
“He then uses that as a defence as to why he should get more time because ‘I haven’t had enough time.’ If you didn’t have enough time, you then shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
“Yes, we can’t give the players a complete out here. But remember this is a squad that has dominated Scottish football in the large part for the last ten years. These are top-class players. There are quality players in there.
“I don’t think it’s a message that has been too complicated or too high-level for them. I think it’s the exact opposite.”
BBC presenter: “What were you hearing from the players? I know you heard things behind the scenes?”
Stewart: “Shambles. Yeah. They didn’t know what he wanted.”
