SPFL Premiership News
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.
Wilfried Nancy's debut match as Celtic boss ended in a 2-1 defeat to Hearts at Parkhead.
Celtic have appointed Wilfried Nancy as their new head coach, prizing him from Columbus Crew and ending a more than month-long search for a permanent successor to Brendan Rodgers.
