Roy Keane is now the odds-on favourite to become the next manager of Celtic Football Club.

The Manchester United legend is currently priced at 4/11 and has drastically moved in from among the outsiders for the Parkhead role.

Former Hoops boss Martin O'Neill reckons Keane would be a good fit for the Glasgow giants.

"Is Roy Keane managerial material? Absolutely,” he told the Go Radio Football Show.

"I have worked with him I know as an assistant basis. He has got an opinion, he knows the game inside out, and is a strong character.

"The argument would be 'does the modern player feel that he can be comfortable in those surroundings?'. That is a decision for other people.

"But absolutely {he can adapt} I think sometimes there is a feeling here that anybody of a certain age or certain vintage has the word dinosaur attached to them.

"Roy has his own methods, it is there when he does his punditry work you can see that is the case.

"And I think strong characters at a football cub would like that sort of management.

"It doesn't please everyone. But whatever style of manager you have, you are not going to please everyone in the dressing room.”

Keane played for Celtic after leaving Old Trafford and ultimately finished his playing career in Glasgow.

Current interim boss John Kennedy, Enzo Maresca, Chris Wilder and Eddie Howe are also among the favourites to take over from Neil Lennon as Celtic boss.
