Outgoing Celtic manager Ronny Deila says that former Manchester United captain Roy Keane will be a perfect match for the Scottish club.

Keane has been working as a pundit for last few years and he has not been in management since leaving Ipswich Town at the end of the 2011 season. Even though he has held roles as the assistant manager for the Republic of Ireland national team and Aston Villa, there have been doubts about Keane’s ability to come back strongly. So far, the Irishman has experienced only in his first campaign as manager with Sunderland.

Ronny Deila claims that Celtic will not be affected by the promotion of Rangers to the Scottish top-flight in their hunt for trophies.

The rivalry between the two clubs is intense and one of the famous across the world. The old firm derby, as it is called, is regarded as one of the most intense in the world. There have been meetings between Rangers and Celtic in the last few years – even after the relegation of the former into the lower levels of Scottish football – in cup competitions. However, there has been no league meeting between the two for quite a while.

Celtic manager has Celtic manager Ronny Deila has tried to curb the enthusiasm of the fans by suggesting that it would almost be impossible for the club to win the treble the season.
