SPFL Premiership News
Wilfried Nancy welcomed the rub of the green which brought his first win as Celtic boss in a 3-1 victory over 10-man Aberdeen at Parkhead.
Late goals from Kieran Tierney and James Forrest gave under-fire Wilfried Nancy his first win as Celtic boss in a 3-1 victory over 10-man Aberdeen at Parkhead.
Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson said that three of his colleagues were "assaulted" after Sunday's Hampden defeat as he declared Peter Lawwell's resignation a "sad day" for the club.
Wilfried Nancy claimed his players were "too soft" in their disastrous first half against Roma but expressed confidence they would quickly get to grips with his tactical demands.
Wilfried Nancy will not "waste time" on the sort of negative reaction which followed his debut defeat as Celtic boss.
