🔗 Share this article Bullish Celtic's manager shows no fear of dismissal yet Celtic fans show anger after loss. The Celtic boss declared he had no concerns about losing his job, asserting, “The team is very near to things turning around,” even after moving dangerously close to being fired with a convincing loss to the Ibrox side. Another Meltdown Leads to Old Firm Defeat The Hoops were in front Rangers at half-time but a second-half capitulation allowed Danny Röhl’s team to draw level on points with the current league title holders. The French coach, who was hired in December, has now overseen six setbacks in eight games. “There is unity at the club,” stated the manager. Questioned about his own future, he responded: “That’s not my focus. My focus is on working out methods to help my team to excel on the fine details. Protest On Display The fans made their feelings clear – towards the board and manager – in their hundreds at full time. Club directors are reportedly likely to return to Martin O’Neill, who enjoyed a successful temporary stint last year, if the Frenchman were sacked. “The outcomes [that leads to pressure]. So this is the situation for the moment. Yet when I say this is the reality, it doesn’t mean that I am a defeatist guy. Absolutely not. The message is we are really close, extremely close to turn things around.” “Really, Really Close” The coach remains focused on the fact the side can perform strongly for 45 minutes at a time. For instance, but for missed chances they might have been better than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit aside from the fact that we haven’t scored more goals,” he said. “I accept that we lost, but I have also to be objective. “The level we had at times was really, really, really high. That is a fact. I wouldn't speak so positively if it was different. But that’s why, regarding outcomes, I noted it's a repeating pattern. For that reason I feel we are nearly there to getting it right. But for the moment: the fine margins.” “I saw a lot of encouraging signs that we did, like today again. But now it’s about consistency. My outlook would change if I didn't believe it. That’s why I firmly believe we will manage to get back on track.” The Rangers Boss Outlook Danny Röhl played down talk of a serious challenge despite what seemed like a landmark win. “Step by step, then we can gradually build a challenge,” he said. “The confidence in the group is excellent.”
