Celtic fears confirmed as Nancy makes his Twitter/X return

With criticism pouring in from all angles it appears that Wilfried Nancy has returned to social media.

Yesterday a new profile picture appeared on a long dormant Twitter account that seems to belong to the new Celtic boss.

It was the sort of touchy feely waffle that Nancy had delivered through two media conferences earlier on Tuesday.

THE NANCY SHOW

All about himself. His incredible experiences. How he succeeds and worst of all how Celtic is on the right track.

During every training session things are apparently getting better.

He is still pushing the claim about how well Celtic played in the first half against Hearts, second half against Roma and at Hampden against St Mirren.

True Celtic weren’t as bad as in the other half of those matches but it was grim viewing for supporters.

It is utterly delusional to claim that Celtic have put in a decent 45 minutes in either of Nancy’s three matches in charge. Over 270 minutes it would be a stretch to put together 45 convincing minutes.

The new manager is deep into Russell Martin territory when he is telling fans through the media about how well training sessions are going.

Authenticating Twitter accounts is always a dangerous business.

But this account seems the real deal. It stopped tweeting in 2019 as Nancy moved up to become assistant coach at Montreal. There is a pinned tweet full of sugary nonsense thanking the Columbus Crew family as he left for Celtic on December 5.

AUTHENTIC

Almost all of the content is in French, much of it reflecting on Nancy’s successes as a coach in Canada.

It is a helluva stretch to suggest that anyone followed Nancy closely during that period, put the account on hold then decided to change the profile two days after losing to St Mirren at Hampden.

Tonight at Tannadice there will be a very impatient Celtic support filling the two stands behind Nancy’s technical area.

So far anger at results has been aimed at the board, mainly Peter Lawwell. So far, Nancy has been spared but the mood changed at Hampden.

If he insists on playing three at the back, Liam Scales as an overlapping left winger and most players out of position the mood will change.

The walk from the technical area at Tannadice to the tunnel can be long and lonely.

If Nancy is feeling sorry for himself, if he thinks that his gas-lighting is working he is in for a shock.

A look elsewhere on Twitter/X should bring him up to speed with the views of Celtic fans.

He is living day by day, defeat by defeat. Sticking to his own brilliant systems is taking him down a rabbit hole.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to hear chants for Martin O’Neill to ring out from the away fans at Tannadice tonight.

Pre-match Nancy will have to do interviews with Sky Sports and Radio Scotland. Every word is being watched.
