Hugh Keevins would be stunned if this happens at Rangers and Celtic after Wilfried Nancy drama
Rangers are preparing to face Hearts, all while Wilfried Nancy comes under increased scrutiny at Celtic.
Nancy could soon be sacked at Celtic after a nightmare start to life at Parkhead, after losing each of his first four outings.
The Ibrox faithful are loving what’s going on at their Old Firm rivals as Celtic fans continue to clash about Nancy and his bizarre comments and actions.
Danny Rohl won’t care what is happening at Celtic Park as he continues to focus on Rangers’ upcoming clash against Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
A win away to the league leaders would be massive, especially after what Hugh Keevins has said about the current scenario.
Hugh Keevins will be shocked if Rangers beat Celtic
Celtic may be in a mess with Nancy in charge right now, and things aren’t looking much better in the boardroom.
The issues surrounding the Hoops has coincided with the Gers seemingly getting themselves in order after years of frustration.
Sacking Russell Martin before letting both Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart go has helped to create a positive atmosphere around G51.
Rohl looks to be getting a better tune out of his side in the league, not so much in Europe, and that could now see the Light Blues leapfrog their bitter rivals.
Things may turn around for Nancy at some point, but even with an uncertain situation surrounding the Frenchman, Keevins would be shocked if Rangers secure victory over both Hearts and Celtic.
In his Sunday Mail column, he said: “Celtic are mired in a mess of their own making and one that will ensure, from this distance, no trophies are won this season. And the nightmare scenario is still in the formative stages.
“Rangers could go above their greatest rivals in the league if they beat Hearts prior to Celtic kicking off against the Dons.
“And if Danny Rohl’s side then beat Celtic on their own ground on January 3? Search me. When a new manager is appointed by Celtic, he walks in the footsteps of iconic figures such as Jock Stein, Billy McNeill, Martin O’Neill and Brendan Rodgers.
“It is about history, tradition and heritage. Nancy, who has Americanised his job by using stateside phraseology and adopting the touchline mannerisms of someone in charge of a college basketball side, is miscast and misplaced. A mistake.“
Rohl would have no excuse not to beat Celtic
Should Nancy remain in his job and his struggles continue, the Bears would have little excuse but to secure victory in the Old Firm.
The Hoops have seriously struggled all season, besides a spell under O’Neill, and look devoid of all confidence right now.
Rangers, by comparison, appear to be on the up domestically and need to take advantage of any boost, especially in a derby clash.
Rohl is well-liked by the Ibrox faithful, but needs that win over Celtic to earn true appreciation, especially if Nancy’s troubles continue.
