Celtic captain Callum McGregor has found a solitary positive from Wilfried Nancy's difficult stint as club manager.
Most of the Parkhead faithful will struggle to find any positives from Nancy's disastrous 33-day tenure.
However, McGregor noticed how the squad remained united during these trying times.
The midfielder sat down with Sky Sports to discuss Nancy for the first time since his sacking.
He said: "What I will say, the one thing that did strike me about the whole thing, was how much the players stayed together.
"That is comfort for me in terms of being in that dressing room and knowing what's round about me in tough times.

"People getting around each other, working ever so hard, trying to fix the results and the situation that we were in."
The midfielder also addressed the Frenchman's approach, stating that he felt Nancy had tried to change "too much too soon."
McGregor went on to praise the collective spirit of the players.
He said: "I think the one thing to come out from my end in terms of the players is how together we are, and desperate to do well for Celtic.
"Everybody is desperate to win, and we're all together.
"I've said this about a few managers, but you spent more time with the guys in here than what you do with your own family back home. So, naturally, everyone is close, everybody wants the team and the club to do well, everybody's fighting every second of the day to improve."
McGregor also mentioned how crucial it was for the team to remain united.
He said: "I know from football and experience in general, when things go wrong, people start self-preservating, and that's the one thing that I didn't see.
"The group was still together, still trying to help and fight and do well for the club.
"What I did see was a group that is together. Obviously, from the players' perspective, coaches and managers will change, but that in there is the group that will help us be successful.
"That is the one positive I did see, is how together the players are."
