Celtic ended 2025 the way we started it, dreadfully – Nancy and Nicholson have to go | OneFootball

Celtic ended the year the way we started it, and that was to slip to defeat in the most diabolical fashion possible…

That defeat back in early January against theRangers could be easily forgiven such was our superior lead at the top of the table, but last night’s loss at Fir Park was totally inexcusable, and downright unforgivable. It was the worst I’ve seen us play all year, and there’s been a fair few bad ones to choose from.

Fair play to Motherwell, they deserved their victory and bossed us, they taught us a footballing lesson from the first to the last whistle, but the way this Celtic side folded was severely disappointing and embarrassing.

We looked very much like a side fighting for a place in top six, not a side fighting for the title. Champions? We look more like relegation fodder, and that’s not an exaggeration.

That’s of course down to the manager, Wilfried Nancy. His tactics are plainly not working, it’s evident to everyone but the Frenchman and his pride before a fall bosses led by Celtic incompetent CEO Michael Nicholson, the man who selected Wilfried Nancy as his first choice as the next Celtic manager after the shameful treatment dished out to Brendan Rodgers, a manage who had won 11 trophies from 13 as Celtic manager. Now teams know how to set up against us, they bully us, they exploit our weakness, which just now is in every single area of the pitch.

From the goalkeeper to the defence, the midfield, the forward line, every single player looks out of their depth. These are players with experience of winning trophies, European and international experience, yet they look like amateurs. Thats not an overreaction, thats the truth.

Nicholson has lost the Celtic support. Nancy too but he’s now lost the dressing room. Enough is enough and Callum McGregor now has to show leadership on behalf of the footballers and make their position known to the Celtic Board.

Make no mistake, theRangers no matter how poor they are at the moment will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing Celtic on Saturday, and that’s a measure of how far we’ve fallen  If rock bottom Livingston can exploit our frailties, then you can bet your life that the Ibrox side will do likewise.

Wilfried Nancy is out of his depth, statistically he is the worst ever manager in Celtic’s history.  A defeat on Saturday will only add to this sorry story. He is not qualified to be the Celtic manager and he was appointed by a man who is not qualified to be the Celtic CEO. Both Nancy and Nicholson have to go, and they have to go now.

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
