Celtic sack manager Nancy after eight games in charge

Celtic have sacked manager Wilfried Nancy, the Scottish Premiership club said on Monday, two days after their 3-1 defeat by Rangers left the champions level on points with their bitter rivals.

The 48-year-old Frenchman, who replaced interim boss Martin O’Neill last month, managed just two victories in eight games across all competitions while they have yet to keep a clean sheet under him. Celtic are second in the Scottish Premiership with 38 points 20 matches, six points behind leaders Hearts.
