Scottish giants Celtic have officially parted ways with Wilfried Nancy after just eight games in charge.

The dismissal of the 48-year-old comes in the aftermath of a disastrous collapse and subsequent 3-1 defeat against bitter rival Rangers at the weekend.

Nancy replaced interim boss and club hero Martin O'Neill, who won seven of eight matches in charge during his brief return on the Hoops' touchline.

It was the latest poor result under the Frenchman since his arrival at Celtic Park on 3 December, with the former Columbus Crew fan-favourite winning two and losing six of his eight games in charge.

The club have also confirmed that Paul Tisdale has also been dismissed from his role as head of football operations.

It is yet to be confirmed who will take over at Celtic Park, with the Hoops next in action on Saturday against Dundee United.
