Nancy refuses to deviate from plan & tells his corner Bhoys they need to be more alert

- BY FRASER WILSON

WILFRIED NANCY insists Celtic's set piece suffering is down to his players' concentration and not tactics.

And while the embattled Hoops boss has told his stumbling Celts he will accept the flak after losing all four of his first games in charge, he is adamant they must do better.

Nancy is desperately seeking a first win against Aberdeen tomorrow after his horror start saw seething supporters call for his head after just 15 days at Tannadice on Wednesday night.

Every one of those losses against Hearts, Roma, St Mirren and Dundee United has seen Celtic concede from corner kicks.

Both goals in Wednesday's 2-1 setback at Tannadice came from corners.

And quizzed on the problem, Nancy said: "This is one of the most difficult things as a manager because set pieces, this is not about technique or tactics, this is mental.

"This is 10 seconds. And we have conceded a lot with that.

"On Wednesday we were good on the first contact, but the second contact or third contact, we struggled a bit.
