Celtic have sacked Wilfried Nancy as manager after just 32 days in charge.

The former Columbus Crew boss was brought in after Martin O'Neill took interim charge of the Hoops following Brendan Rodgers' resignation in October, but won just two out of his eight games.

He is the shortest-serving permanent manager in the club's history having only been appointed on December 3.
