Wilfried Nancy took just one week at Celtic to surpass Russell Martin’s Rangers record
Rangers are watching on as Wilfried Nancy continues to seriously struggle at Celtic.
There were some reservations from Sam Allardyce when Celtic appointed Nancy, but that was far from the common option at Parkhead.
Nancy joined Celtic with high expectations, but has failed to live up to those with three defeats from his first three games.
Nancy has had a hugely tough start to life at Celtic, compounded by the cup final defeat against St Mirren at Hampden Park.
The Gers have now made a direct comparison between Nancy and Russell Martin after the Englishman was sacked earlier in the season at Ibrox.
Wilfried Nancy has already has a worse record than Russell Martin at Rangers
Martin left Rangers after just 17 matches, in which huge levels of frustration had begun to spiral around Govan.
The 39-year-old’s safety came into question away to Falkirk, leaving the G51 hierarchy with little choice but to relieve him of his duties.
In just four months, the ex-Southampton boss missed out on Champions League qualification and oversaw more losses and draws than wins with the Light Blues.
It was little surprise that Martin was let go, something which may make for bad news at Celtic in the coming days or weeks.
Nancy has already lost more domestic games in one week with the Hoops than Martin managed before the Gers quickly sacked him.
Defeats against Hearts and St Mirren outweigh the Englishman, who only tasted the same result once against Hearts at Ibrox.
The Bears drew the remainder of their Scottish Premiership and cup fixtures, while tasting five losses in continental competition.
Nancy surely destined for sack at Celtic
Martin O’Neill has called for patience surrounding the Frenchman who went on to replace him at the end of his thriving temporary stint.
This latest reveal shows just how dire the situation is for Nancy, who is statistically worse than Martin, who was hounded out of Rangers with no regrets.
The Ibrox faithful won’t necessarily want the former Columbus Crew man to leave Parkhead as he continues to annoy their fans with his words and results.
It is one to keep an eye on, but there is no getting away from how poor his record is and may continue to be moving forward if he isn’t let go soon.
