Celtic's Crisis: Fourth Straight Loss Stuns Parkhead

Celtic has suffered a significant blow with a 2-1 defeat to Dundee United, extending their losing streak to four matches, a club-worst since 1978. Manager Wilfried Nancy, who took charge only two weeks prior, has now lost all four of his games, intensifying scrutiny on his leadership. Despite the challenging circumstances, including chairman Peter Lawwell stepping down due to threats, Nancy insists his team is on the right track.

Pundits like Chris Sutton have been critical, labeling the current Celtic squad as 'bang average' and emphasizing the urgent need for January recruitment. Sutton questioned Nancy's approach, stating that his methods are not currently working and the team lacks belief. The fans' frustration was evident, with chants for former manager Martin O'Neill heard during the match.

However, Celtic chief executive Michael Nicholson publicly reaffirmed his complete support for Nancy's long-term vision. Nicholson acknowledged the supporters' discontent but stressed that a project is in place, with plans for the January and summer transfer windows already being discussed. He believes that with time and strategic recruitment, the team will achieve success under Nancy.
