news.stv.tvHere’s the latest I can provide based on the latest available coverage:
- Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic tenure has been a major talking point in early 2026, with reports indicating a strong run of results and then significant scrutiny following an Old Firm match in January 2026. Some outlets suggested his position was under pressure during that period, though the specifics varied across sources.[2][7]
- There were notable developments around early January 2026, including reports of his dismissal as Celtic manager after a short spell in charge, and immediate statements from the club regarding his departure. These reports echoed widespread fan and media speculation about the club’s direction at the time.[5][2]
- In late 2025 and into December, there was substantial media attention around Nancy’s public image and interactions with media, alongside ongoing discussion about his viability in the Celtic role, including fan reactions and pundit commentary.[6][7]
