It would be safe to say that Celtic made a disappointing start to the Wilfried Nancy era, losing at home against Hearts to fall behind in the title race again. They do not have much time to feel sorry about themselves though. The Hoops have an important Europa League game coming up as they will be taking on AS Roma.
AS Roma have made a positive start to this campaign. Their recent form has been shaky though as they are coming into the matchup against Celtic on the back of consecutive defeats.
That is not where you want to be. And AS Roma will surely be keen to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. That would mean doing so against Celtic. Now, it is up to Nancy's side to stop that from happening and find some form of their own.
The club have made a fantastic announcement leading up to the game against AS Roma. They have confirmed that the tickets for this fixture are now sold out as a packed-out Paradise will get ready to cheer the Bhoys on.
Celtic make fantastic announcement about AS Roma game
Let's see how this game turns out for both teams. It is very important for Nancy not to lose again. Questions are already being asked about the appointment, and the last thing he can afford is to go on a losing run.
That being said, it might be a bit too early to judge Nancy as a manager. No matter what the result turns out to be this week against AS Roma in Europe.
Even then, a win would be a welcome result for the Hoops and would take a lot of pressure off Nancy. Let's hope they can do that and kick start this new era for the club.
