The fiery pundit was up in Glasgow for the final stretch of his career but he admits it’s a move that would have been better off not happening.
Roy Keane admits he should never had made his move to Celtic at the end of his career after being left needing painkillers just to get through training.
The Man United icon won the Premier League and Champions League as a player at Old Trafford, making a name for himself as one of the game’s most fearless midfield battlers. He was announced as a Celtic player in December 2005 but with his career winding down, a shock Scottish Cup defeat to Clyde on his debut was only the start of a move the pundit wishes he hadn’t made.
He retired from football on medical advice after 10 appearances the following summer, and the 52-year-old has revealed a conversation with then-boss Gordon Strachan that provided clarity on his retirement. Keane admits he wasn’t showing the best of himself in green and white as pain started mounting. He told Stick to Football: “I was 34 when I finished. But I should have retired when I left United. I even lost a bit of the love for the game after that.
