Manchester United great Roy Keane is keen on the Celtic job.

The Sun says Keane is up for the task of taking on Steven Gerrard's Rangers if the call comes.

He is keen on going back to the dugout, as we revealed.

The Parkhead post is right up his street because of his strong allegiance to the club.

The former Bhoys midfielder, 49, was offered the job before and declined, but he would say yes this time — and that might fit with Celtic's requirements.

Senior Celtic chiefs want to keep the existing coaching staff and put a 'figurehead' in charge. Keane does not have a backroom team that he uses, so that would be ideal.

There would be a good salary on offer too for Keane, who is a well-paid pundit on Sky.

Those wages are also tempting other candidates like Eddie Howe, David Moyes and Scotland boss Steve Clarke.
