WILFRIED NANCY LEFT FANS STUNNED IN HIS POST-MATCH INTERVIEW AFTER GIVING A REASON FOR TODAY’S LOSS TO HEARTS THAT MANY SUPPORTERS ARE CALLING AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.

Nancy’s Post-Match Comments Spark Outrage After Hearts Defeat

Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy has triggered a wave of shock and disbelief among supporters after offering what many fans describe as an unbelievable explanation for Sunday’s defeat to Hearts.

In his post-match interview, Nancy voiced frustration not with the opposition or his own side’s missed chances, but with circumstances he claims were already in motion before he took charge.

According to Nancy, he inherited a squad that lacked proper groundwork, training structure and preparation following the departure of former boss Martin O’Neill. Nancy suggested that the previous coaching regime left “no proper arrangements” in place, making it extremely difficult for him to implement his ideas at such short notice.

What stunned many fans even more was Nancy’s blunt admission that he “doesn’t care about winning or losing except performance”, a line that immediately set social media ablaze. Supporters questioned how such a statement could be made after a crucial Scottish Premiership fixture, especially one that saw Celtic fall short against a major league rival.

Fan reactions ranged from disbelief to frustration, with many insisting Celtic should never accept defeat—regardless of managerial transitions or training concerns. Others defended Nancy, arguing that performance standards and style of play should be the first priority for a rebuilding coach.

The club itself has not released an official response to Nancy’s remarks, but the reaction among supporters suggests a stormy week ahead at Celtic Park. Questions over squad preparation, tactical identity and accountability are already dominating discussion, and Nancy’s candid comments may only intensify the pressure moving forward.

As the dust settles on a disappointing result, one thing is clear—Nancy’s explanation has become the most talked-about moment of the entire match.
