A day on from Celtic’s damaging defeat to Rangers, Wilfried Nancy remains in charge — but pressure is intensifying behind the scenes.
Attention has now turned to major shareholder Dermot Desmond, with growing calls from supporters for decisive action following Saturday’s loss. While many fans had already lost patience with Nancy before the derby, Hugh Keevins believes the final decision lies with the man who sanctioned the appointment in the first place.
Speaking on Clyde 1, Keevins suggested that “the word” is that Nancy was Desmond’s choice, despite indications that Paul Tisdale was heavily involved in the process. As a result, any move to sack the manager would require Desmond’s approval.
Keevins argued that discussions are unlikely to be rushed, adding that talks would need to take place over the weekend before any decision is made. He also questioned whether Desmond would allow the club to slide into decline after coming so close to a treble last season, describing the managerial appointment as a catastrophic error if left uncorrected.
