Keane would be a success - Craig Gordon

Craig Gordon believes Roy Keane would be a success if he became the next Celtic manager.

The Irishman has been strongly linked with the post to be vacated by Ronny Deila after the home game against Motherwell on Sunday, although he will be at the 2016 Euros this summer as assistant to Martin O'Neill with Republic of Ireland.

The Hoops keeper played under Keane at Sunderland and was positive when asked if the former Manchester United midfielder was Parkhead management material.

"Why not?" he said. "I don't want to single anybody out and talk about any one candidate.

"That's for once the games are finished with but certainly I've had him as a manager before.

"I know how he liked things to run at Sunderland and if he was appointed then I'm sure he would do well and would be successful.

"He's hard but fair. What you see is really what you get. With Roy Keane, he was an aggressive player who wanted to win every match and from what I've seen he's exactly the same as a manager."
