Wilfried Nancy revealed that he was delighted for all those involved with Celtic after he finally got in the win column with the Scottish Premiership side.

After becoming the first Celtic boss to lose each of his first four games at the helm, Nancy experienced his first win after late goals from Kieran Tierney and James Forrest secured a 3-1 win against 10-man Aberdeen.

It was a strong performance from Celtic, who produced 4.53 expected goals (xG) from 31 shots and hit the woodwork four times as they chased victory against a resolute Aberdeen defence.

Celtic are six points behind Hearts, who beat Rangers 2-1 on Sunday, at the top of the Scottish Premiership, though they have a game in hand on the league leaders.

Nancy was relieved to get the first win of his tenure, but is not focusing on their standing in the Scottish top-flight just yet.

“The players did really, really well,” Nancy told BBC Sportsound.

“We hit the post four times and I've never seen that in my life. We deserved more. I can see an improvement every game. I'm happy for the players because they deserved it.

“Many teams could've been down with all the chances we had but we kept going wave after wave after wave and I'm really proud of that.

“Good for the players just to validate what they did because I know that it was not easy for them. They need a bit of time. I'm happy for the players. I'm happy for the fans, I'm happy for the club, I'm happy for the board.

“We chase anybody. The idea is to compete with ourselves. After that, the standings, we'll see.”
