How much longer will Wilfried Nancy be in the Celtic dugout?
You would have to go a long way to find a Celtic supporter anywhere in the world who is currently backing the under-fire coach.
On Tuesday night, Celtic were beaten by Motherwell, the fifth defeat of this nightmare Nancy reign, and now Rangers come to town.
It’s pretty simple for many; if Celtic lose to Rangers, then Nancy simply has to go, but what does Pat Bonner think of the current situation after previously asking for the new man to be ‘given time?’
Where does Wilfried Nancy go from here?
Pat Bonner on Wilfried Nancy’s future at Celtic
After watching Celtic’s showing at Fir Park, even Bonner is now starting to get worried, and he has previously backed the Frenchman.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, Bonner questioned just how much ‘trust’ the Celtic board have in their manager, especially with the January transfer window open.
Celtic have signed Julian Araujo on a loan deal from Bournemouth, and he is now expected to play as a right-sided wing-back.
Does that perhaps indicate that the powers that be are backing their new manager?
Either way, despite trying to stay as positive as possible around Celtic’s current situation, Bonner now made it clear that this upcoming Rangers match is a must-win.
Kenny Macintyre: “Where are you on the manager because you said, ‘he has to be given time.'”
Bonner: “Every manager has to be given time. I have been there myself. You can’t find a win, and suddenly you get a win, and you are away.
“He has had two wins now. But he has gone. This was a poor, poor performance against Motherwell, and there will be doubts.
“The big game coming up against Rangers. He has to win that game. That’s the problem for any Celtic manager. The pressure is so great. You don’t get time, unfortunately.
“I have asked people to give him a bit of time. Will the board allow him to bring in players? He has to have wins alongside that to get trust from everybody.
“Let’s see this weekend how the game is going to turn out. If they don’t put on a performance, and they don’t believe, then they are in trouble.”
