NOT KEANE
Manchester United legend Roy Keane has been linked with a sensational return to Celtic as manager, but is hoping it turns out better than his only season as a player there.
Keane, 49, is currently the favorite to succeed Neil Lennon.
And while he enjoyed his time at Celtic and played for “brilliant fans”, he admits in retrospect that he remains EMBARRATED at this point.
He told an audience of fans at Waterfront Hall in Belfast two years ago: “I really enjoyed Celtic even though I did f *** up there.
“I signed for Celtic in December and physically I had not thrown a ball for two or three months, I had left United with a broken foot.
“I’m going straight into a game up there, I tear my hamstrings twice. I never justified my role at the club – at least I’m embarrassed by my time at Celtic.
“What I really enjoyed at Celtic was that it was good to be in a different locker room.
“I had a great craic with the guys at United, but the Celtic boys – Neil Lennon, Petrov, Varga – I really enjoyed the Celtic locker room.
“The Celtic fans must be watching me saying ‘you were garbage’, but it was nice to taste the brilliant Celtic fans.
“But obviously I’m a professional footballer and then the fight came on and I saw the specialist for my hip and I had a year left on my contract.
“I had to go to Celtic every day with my injuries and I was embarrassed. I was ashamed to go looking for salaries.
