The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Celtic defender Alan Stubbs has warned the club against appointing Roy Keane if current manager Martin O'Neill steps down. Following consecutive defeats to Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and the Premier Sports Cup, O'Neill announced he would consider his future during the international break. Keane has expressed openness to a managerial return, leading some fans to suggest the former midfielder as a candidate.

Stubbs stated that Keane would not be a good fit for Parkhead, arguing that supporters want a return to an aggressive, high-intensity attacking style. He noted that fans preferred the approach seen under former manager Ange Postecoglou rather than pragmatic play, and warned any major managerial target would demand significant transfer funds.
