Sutton: Celtic's Decision to Let Nancy Go Was Inevitable, But Deeper Issues Persist

According to Chris Sutton, Wilfried Nancy's departure from Celtic was a foregone conclusion following their loss to Rangers, but he believes the club's problems extend far beyond Nancy's tenure. Nancy was let go after losing six of his eight games in charge, with the final straw being the defeat to Rangers, and Martin O'Neill has been reappointed as interim manager until the end of the season. Sutton thinks that keeping Nancy would have been too great a risk, citing his inflexibility and the team's poor performance under his leadership. The former Celtic striker also criticized the club's Head of Football Operations, Paul Tisdale, who has also left the club, and emphasized the need for the team to strengthen their squad in January. Sutton believes that while Nancy's departure was the right decision, the club's issues run deeper and that the players must take responsibility for their poor form, which was not limited to Nancy's tenure.
