Wilfried Nancy seemed to uncover the mask for the first time on Wednesday night after he reacted to a question from a Sky Sports reporter.
Nancy’s 100 per cent loss record continued as Celtic were beaten 2-1 by Dundee United at Tannadice.
Both halves were a complete contrast as the Hoops went from looking well-disciplined to a team running out of ideas.
Celtic fans turned inside of the ground, shouting for the Frenchman to go and yearning for the return of Martin O’Neill.
As Nancy pleaded with fans to give him more time in his interview, it looked like it was going to be another run of the mill conversation but then, he snapped.

Wilfried Nancy snaps at Sky Sports reporter’s question over future
Conversations about Nancy’s future have naturally begun already, with some feeling that he may be sacked.
Sky Sports reporter Luke Shanley asked the 48-year-old if he felt he was in danger, to which he fought back and said: “They know why I am here, they protect me, they know what I want to do for the club.
“They know where we are at this moment and we knew this moment could happen. But they know the most important thing is where do we want to go?
“There are bumps. Obviously, I would have preferred the opposite because trust me, when we do this job, when we lose, this is so difficult, so painful. But this is part of the job.”

Wilfried Nancy finally shows some passion
Everyone has a style and a vision they believe that works. That’s fine, and accepted by Celtic fans, but they want to see someone who cares.
So far, it looks as if the size of the task has been underestimated by the Frenchman.
However, the end of that interview was exactly what Celtic supporters want to see: passion.
For all of the philosophical points made by him, the fire inside of him has yet to be seen, until then.
This is what fans want to see and expect from their leaders.
It looks like Nancy will have the Aberdeen game on Sunday, where he will need a performance, and a win to get supporters even remotely back onside.
