Roy Keane turns Celtic party pooper as 'fantastic' Champions League moment blasted after Parkhead 'madness'

A brilliant Celtic moment in the Champions League has not won the full approval of Roy Keane.

The Man Utd icon and ex-Hoops midfielder was one of the onlookers last week as Brendan Rodgers’ side beat RB Leipzig 3-1. But he and ex-Man Utd, Everton and West Ham boss David Moyes took different views to the second goal of the night for Celtic.

They pressed Leipzig into submission, eventually winning the ball back near the 18-yard line before Nicolas Kuhn eventually converted a cutback. It moves them onto seven points from four games in the revamped league phase of the competition.

It seems as though the Bhoys had a few interesting parties watching on in the form of David Moyes and Roy Keane, as they discussed the match. While Moyes was left impressed by the rate of Celtic’s pressing, Keane was disappointed with how Leipzig lost the ball near their own box. The pair had the debate via The Overlap.

Keane: “I don’t think anyone has a problem with Manchester City doing it because they are brilliant at it. But when you see the other teams, and getting caught! You obviously lose it high up the pitch and then some teams, you are in on goal. That’s the issue I have.

“If teams can do it, then I love it. But, for me, the madness. You must come in as a staff on Monday morning and go ‘lad’s we lost again’. Someone must go, ‘Why do we keep playing out from the back when we get caught constantly and you are constantly under pressure.”

Moyes: “A lot will depend on the quality of players. I watched Celtic and I thought the players they had, several of them Japanese players, were fantastic at their pressing.”

Keane: “Weren’t they encouraged though by the opposition? That would be my point. Encouraged by the opposition taking the ball, a minute before half-time and they are giving the ball away. They are trying to beat players literally on the edge of the box. They lose a goal. it’s madness. Absolute madness.”
