Roy Keane slams Celtic ignorance from Gary Neville as Man United hero told 'EVERYONE knows that'
Keane was less than impressed with Neville's lack of knowledge about his former team
Roy Keane's short stint with Celtic was far from memorable - but the Manchester United icon has always insisted he loved every minute of his six month spell in Glasgow's East End.
Keane joined up with Gordon Strachan's Hoops shortly after leaving the Red Devils in December 2005, scoring once in 13 matches to help the club lift a league and Scottish Cup double. But the former midfield enforcer has now called out his Man United pal Gary Neville for his lack of awareness about the current Celtic team. The two Premier League greats are regular members of the "Stick to Football" Podcast alongside Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Jill Scott, where they discuss the burning issues from the English top-flight every week.
The podcast also regularly welcome top guests onto the show, ranging from Ricky Gervais to NFL legend J.J Watt. And during current Celtic stopper Kasper Schmeichel's appearance, Keane put Neville in his place for not doing his homework ahead of the Dane's arrival. Schmeichel, 38, had played in his team's 5-1 hammering of Aberdeen the night before on February 25, to which former Old Trafford skipper Neville was oblivious, instead opting to watch Crystal Palace's clash with Aston Villa.
He said: "Kasper did you play last night?" to which Liverpool hero Carragher quipped: "You've done your homework Gaz.." A perplexed Keane then got involved, stating: "Yeah you must know that.. this is what annoys me. You must have known Celtic were playing at home to Aberdeen. EVERYONE knows that."
The ex-Ireland star previously revealed on the podcast that he knocked back the chance to join none other than Real Madrid in order to make the move north of the border. "When I left United I went up to Celtic, but I could've gone to Real Madrid for a year and a half", Keane said in June 2024.
"It was a bit [emotional], which is fine, I don’t mind making those kind of decisions. But I was 34, I just thought, would I go [to Real] and have an impact?"
