Celtic announce another major Parkhead exit alongside Wilfried Nancy
Celtic finally parted company with Wilfried Nancy on Monday, ending his horrific reign at the Old Firm club.
Nancy oversaw a 3-1 defeat to Rangers on Saturday, which left the Hoops six points behind Hearts at the top.
As a result, the Frenchman had overseen six defeats in eight games, with fans calling for Nancy to be sacked by Celtic at full-time.
Now, supporters have got their wish, with Nancy departing from Celtic, ending his brief time as manager of the Old Firm side, which lasted just over a month.
Alongside the Frenchman, Paul Tisdale also left Celtic Park, ending his time as Head of Football Operations.

Paul Tisdale leave Celtic alongside Wilfried Nancy
Tisdale joined Celtic in October 2024 as the club’s Head of Football Operations.
However, despite overseeing a successful first season in the role, things have proven to be a disaster in the 2025-26 campaign.
Celtic fans quickly turned on Tisdale this season after a series of terrible decisions has made another Scottish Premiership title look unlikely.
Now, with the appointment of Nancy being a complete and utter failure, the board have made the decision to part with Tisdale alongside Nancy.
Nancy’s Celtic reign in numbers
Nancy’s time at Celtic will no doubt go down as the worst-ever.
The Frenchman is the shortest-ever reigning manager in their history, lasting just 33 days in charge of the side.
During this time, he oversaw some terrible feats, including being the first Hoops manager to lose his first four matches in charge since 1978.

Within this run, Nancy lost to title challengers Hearts in his first match in charge, as well as St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final.
While back-to-back wins over Aberdeen and Livingston struck hope that a corner had been turned in Glasgow, losses to Motherwell and Rangers made his position untenable.
As a result, he has left Celtic with just a measly 25 per cent win rate, having never kept a clean sheet in his dismal reign.
Now, it remains to be seen if someone can come in and recover what has been a chaotic season at the Hoops.
