Roy Keane To Become Celtic Manager?

Roy Keane has emerged as favourite to become manager of Glasgow Celtic

The former Manchester United captain finished his career with a short spell at Celtic following a glittering career at Old Trafford.

Celtic have become without a permanent manager since they sacked Neill Lennon and have lost out on the Scottish Premier League title for the first time since 2011

Roy Keane's former mentor is Martin O'Neill who believes that Keane would be a good fit for the job.

O'Neill told Go Radio.

"Is Roy Keane managerial material? Absolutely.

"I have worked with him and know him on an assistant basis. He has got an opinion, he knows the game inside out and is a strong, strong character.

"The argument would be then 'does the modern player feel that he can be comfortable in those surroundings?'. That is a decision for other people to make.

"But absolutely [he can adapt] I think sometimes there is a feeling here that anybody of a certain age or certain vintage has the word dinosaur attached to them.

"Roy has his own methods, it is there when he does his punditry work you can see that is the case. And I think strong characters at a football club would like that sort of management."

 Roy Keane's testimonial was held in May 2006 and involved United hosting Celtic. Keane played for both sides that night. United won 1-0 with a young Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a late winner.
