This is getting pretty nasty…

Angry Celtic fans were seen trying to confront the club’s board members and ownership during their 3-1 defeat by Rangers on Saturday.

Videos from inside Celtic Park show fans being held back by security during the game, with one fan throwing a scarf towards the director’s area.

Fans also gathered near the stadium entrance after the game to confront club officials after a sixth defeat in eight games.

Fans were also seen abusing their own players outside the ground.

Celtic fans are demanding the board be sacked, with chants of ‘Dermot, get to f***’ towards principal shareholder Dermot Desmond. 

Wilfried Nancy is now under huge pressure after the Old Firm defeat. 

Nancy believes he can turn it around at Celtic, however, telling BBC Scotland after the match: “It was disappointing because we deserved more today, but again we needed more goals.

“In the second half, we conceded three goals from throw-ins. It’s difficult to accept, but it’s reality. This is not about the players or the tactics, this is about moments.

“This is not about myself, this is about disappointing the fans because I know the meaning of this game. I can understand the disappointment, but I also saw what we’re able to do.

“We are really close, there are many things that can turn around. If it was not the case, I would not talk like this. I really believe we can turn things around.

“We are together with the board.”
