Wilfried Nancy was Celtic manager for a mere 33 days

Celtic have parted company with manager Wilfried Nancy, with Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Rangers his sixth loss in just eight matches and his 33-day reign the shortest in the club's history.

The 48-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Scottish champions after the conclusion of the Major League Soccer season with Columbus Crew and took charge on 4 December.

But, having won seven of their eight games under interim manager Martin O'Neill, Celtic's form slumped dramatically under Nancy.

He became the first Celtic manager to lose his first two games in charge before suffering a 3-1 defeat by St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final and a 2-1 reverse at Dundee United.
