'Nancy argued there was progress - but nobody could see it'

So many people will look at the results of Wilfried Nancy's tenure as being the reason for his departure. And for the most part they'd be right.

Leads were surrendered and against Motherwell they were thoroughly outplayed. Nancy relentlessly argued there was progress, but nobody else could see it.

In a wild and chaotic Scottish football campaign, we now face a scenario where a fourth Old Firm game of the season will be contested by a new pairing of managers for the fourth time when the teams next meet.

Quite incredible. We have never seen anything quite like it.
