Celtic dismiss Nancy after poor run of results
Celtic have ended their association with manager Wilfried Nancy following a series of disappointing performances. The decision comes after a 3-1 defeat by Rangers, marking his sixth loss in eight games. Nancy had taken charge on December 4 after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club. The Scottish champions are now seeking a new manager to turn their season around.
