Jan 11 (Reuters) - BBC television ‌pundit Shay Given has apologised after describing former ‌Celtic coach Wilfried Nancy’s short-lived reign as "an absolute ‌holocaust" on live television, with the former goalkeeper saying he used a word he did not fully understand.

Nancy was sacked after just eight games ‍in charge, prompting the Scottish club ‍to bring backformer boss ‌Martin O'Neill until the end of the season.
