One or two idiots’ – Roy Keane Lifts Lid on Celtic Stint

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane recently shared his experiences and the culture shock he faced upon joining Celtic. Despite a brief stint lasting only six months, Keane’s time at the iconic Scottish club left a lasting impression on him and the team.

Keane, a legend at Manchester United, was taken aback by the differences he encountered at Celtic. “You talk about getting a shock,” Keane told The Stick to football podcast, reflecting on his move. “Celtic Park is amazing, but the training facilities at that time were a far cry from what I was used to at United.” Players would often change at Celtic Park and drive to the training ground in their gear, a practice that was starkly different from his experiences in Manchester.

Embracing the Celtic Way

• Despite the initial surprise, Keane grew to appreciate the simplicity and camaraderie at Celtic. “I really enjoyed my time at Celtic, particularly the different dressing room atmosphere,” he admitted. Keane highlighted the strong bonds and great character among most of the Celtic players, despite admitting there were “one or two idiots.”
