These Celtic and Rangers fans deliver emphatic Roy Keane verdict as speculation intensifies

Roy Keane could prove to be one of the most controversial managerial appointments in Celtic’s history.

Since speculation first emerged surrounding the Irishman and the Celtic Park vacancy, social media has lit up with debate.

Chris Sutton recently suggested that the move might be divisive, but that assessment looks to have underestimated the strength of the opposition to his potential appointment.

Keane has not managed a team since being dismissed by Ipswich in January 2011, and the only trophy he’s secured is 2007’s Championship with Sunderland.

Enzo Maresca, Eddie Howe and Rafael Benitez are just a few of the names that have been greeted with more enthusiasm by the Celtic faithful, and it appears the Manchester United legend would face a fair degree of cynicism if he became Neil Lennon’s replacement.

In a poll conducted on , 71.7% of Celtic supporters said he wasn’t the man for the job.

Only 28.3% backed him.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the figures were reversed .

The 49-year-old Sky Sports pundit made 13 appearances for Celtic in the 2005/6 season after leaving Manchester United.
