Highlights: Dundee United 2-1 Celtic

At this point, it's not just Wilfried Nancy's Celtic team that's a hard watch, it's Nancy himself.

So many explanations and justifications, so many verbal contortions as he attempts to talk through his latest defeat. It's become painful, quickly.

"I think I am in a good direction with the players," he said after his fourth defeat in a row in his new job, a 2-1 loss at struggling Dundee United.

"Today you saw we had a good performance," he stated. "We are improving," he insisted. "We were close to winning... keep the faith."
