Having now arrived in Glasgow, it will be a quick turnaround for Nancy, with his work at Celtic already getting started

With the manager now having met each member of his squad, the Bhoys will now be down to work on the training ground ahead of being back in action on Sunday against Hearts.

Nancy insisted his relationship with the players and the fans is an important one as he gave supporters an overview of what they might come to expect from his Celtic side

“It’s about relationships with players,” he said. “We don’t play tennis, we don’t play golf, we need, I call it the non-verbal communication.

“You need to run together to score a goal. We need to run together to defend a goal. So, that is why my job is to create this environment for my players to be able to connect together.

“My style of play is about the way I live, it’s as simple as that. I like to be proactive in my life, I like to discover things, I like also to try things because I believe the more you try things, the more you are going to be able to learn and the more you are going to maximise the chance to have success.

“So, what I want to do on the pitch is the same. So structure, with the way we are going to play. We are going to run together, but at the same time, have creativity within that.

“The idea is the ball. We want to take care of the ball. What does it mean? It means that the ball is the only tool in our life without talking, we can connect people.

'So, can we use the ball to create emotions. Can we use the ball the score goals. So, that is why I want proactive football.'

“I want the idea to manipulate the opposition to gain speed and to attack the box. This is the idea.

“We are going to have difficult moments, and when we have difficult moments, we have to be strong together and resilient.

“The way you behave when you suffer, you should be able to transmit on the pitch.

“And it’s about trying to entertain people. Everybody wants to win. I don’t know anybody who likes to lose. So, the idea is to maximise that."
