Celtic supporters have erupted in anger following a stunning 3–1 defeat to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final, with many calling for manager Wilfried Nancy to be sacked immediately.
What was expected to be a routine cup victory instead turned into a humiliating afternoon for the Hoops at Hampden Park.
St Mirren Punish Slow and Disjointed Celtic
Celtic were rocked early after conceding within the opening minutes, immediately placing themselves under pressure. Although Reo Hatate pulled Celtic back into the game with a first-half equaliser, the response lacked conviction.
St Mirren remained organised, aggressive, and hungry — qualities Celtic struggled to match throughout the contest.
Second-Half Collapse Raises Alarm Bells
The second half exposed Celtic’s growing problems. Defensive lapses and a lack of midfield control allowed Jonah Ayunga to strike twice, putting the game beyond reach.
Celtic offered little resistance after falling behind, with fans growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of urgency and tactical adjustment from the touchline.
Supporters Call for Wilfried Nancy’s Dismissal
The final whistle triggered an immediate backlash. Many supporters described the performance as unacceptable, questioning the manager’s decision-making and preparation for a major final.
Social media quickly filled with calls for Nancy’s dismissal, with fans pointing to poor structure, slow build-up play, and a team that appeared mentally unprepared.
Pressure Mounts on Celtic Board
With a domestic trophy already lost, scrutiny is now firmly on the Celtic hierarchy. Whether Wilfried Nancy is backed or removed, the defeat has clearly shifted the mood among supporters.
Patience is wearing thin, and the coming weeks could prove decisive for both the manager and the club’s direction.
