Wilfried Nancy is confident he can change Celtic's fortunes despite suffering a fifth defeat in seven games with a 2-0 loss at Motherwell on Tuesday night.
Goals from Ibrahim Said and Elliot Watt deservedly earned the Steelmen their first win over Celtic in 10 years, and their first at home since 2013.

The Parkhead club had the chance to go level on points with league leaders Hearts had they beaten Motherwell but remain three adrift. Rangers, who visit on Saturday, are now just three points behind Celtic.
"I'm confident with where we want to go," manager Nancy said despite another defeat and disorganised performance.
"This was a tough game. But I think that we're going to get better.
"In terms of pressure, it doesn't change the way I think about this because we know that we have to do well. But for the moment, this is the reality and I knew that it could be like that.

"It was a tough, tough night. We faced a good team, collectively really good. I knew that this could be a bit difficult because of the way they play and where we are at this moment."
With a massive game against derby rivals Rangers coming up, Nancy insists he's not worried about the future.
"Each game for me is important and for the team is important," he added.
"I don't think about my future, I think about what I do now and what I need to do to improve the team.
"This is the first time since I'm here that we struggled a lot.
"I think that I saw positive stuff defensively in the second half. The way we were able to cope with the way they unbalanced us in the first half, we did better in the second half. After that, it was not a good game for us."
