He has been heavily linked with managing the Scottish side since Neil Lennon resigned, earlier in the season. Celtic, with whom he won a league title with in 2006, were denied their 10th league title in a row by a resurgent Rangers side managed by his old Premier League rival, Steven Gerrard.
Back when Rangers league triumph was confirmed, Keane gave Hoops supporters their only crumb of comfort, on the day, by refusing to congratulate them on a live Sky Sports broadcast.
Rangers legend Ally McCoist tried his best to glean Keane's next move when the pair were both on punditry duty at Wembley Stadium, last Thursday. The former Rangers striker and manager told talkSPORT of Keane's response when he asked if he would be managing Celtic.
"He effectively ignored me, really. Roy just kind of looked at me as if to say 'Yeah, and I'm really going to tell you the answer'. "I got that, you know the stare - the world-famous stare - I was on the receiving end of it at Wembley on Thursday night! And I still don't know whether he's going to get the Celtic job or not. Effectively, that's where we are on it."Even if Roy Keane were set for the Celtic job, it was never likely that he would give the scoop to a Rangers man like McCoist. It has been reported that, should Keane get the Celtic job, former Manchester United midfielder and coach Nicky Butt could be part of his managerial team. Scottish football could well go box-office, next season.
