Rangers supporters will no doubt be keeping a close eye on events across the city as Wilfried Nancy begins life under pressure at Celtic.
Following Brendan Rodgers’ dramatic exit, Celtic appointed Nancy as their new head coach — but his start has brought mixed reviews.

Nancy replaced Martin O’Neill, who impressed as interim boss, and many Celtic fans felt he deserved more time. Now, with Nancy struggling early, criticism is growing.

Sam Allardyce Slams Celtic’s Decision: “It’s Stupid”

Sam Allardyce has made his feelings crystal clear about Celtic’s choice to appoint Nancy.
Speaking on No Tippy Tappy Football, Allardyce didn’t hold back:

“He sounds like a school teacher… my god. What have they done, Celtic?
They talk about ‘sophisticated coaching’ — is coaching sophisticated? Is he just another one of these managers who turns up with a glowing presentation?
If the owners don’t look beyond the laptop, it’s stupid. Absolutely stupid.”

Allardyce essentially accused Celtic of falling for modern buzzwords and flashy presentations rather than hiring real football leadership — something Rangers fans are sure to enjoy hearing.

Comparisons With Rangers’ Own Appointment

Earlier this season, Rangers took their time before appointing Danny Rohl as their new manager.
Rohl has shown flashes of promise, though results have been inconsistent. Still, most Rangers fans accept he needs time to build something at Ibrox.

Whether Nancy will get similar patience at Celtic remains doubtful — especially after losing his first game against title rivals Hearts.

Nancy’s Comments After the Hearts Defeat Raise Eyebrows

After the loss, Nancy suggested that he cared more about the performance than the result.
While that philosophy may work in MLS, it rarely sits well at Celtic Park, where winning is non-negotiable.

If the defeats continue and the Frenchman keeps focusing on performances over points, he may find himself in trouble very quickly.

Why Rangers Fans Will Be Delighted

With Celtic under early pressure and Nancy already dividing opinion:

• Rangers fans will love Allardyce’s scathing remarks.

• They’ll also welcome any instability across the city.

• And Nancy’s focus on performances over results won’t ease Celtic supporters’ nerves.

If Nancy continues to lose games — no matter how “sophisticated” the football looks — he risks facing a swift dismissal, something that the blue half of Glasgow will happily sit back and watch unfold.
