Roy Keane lets Celtic star feel his wrath as he's left stunned over risky Euro 2024 move that proved costly


Scotland have been on the end of a hiding by Germany in the opening game of Euro 2024 - with Roy Keane unable to take his eyes off one Celtic star.
Hoops aces Anthony Ralston and captain Callum McGregor started for the nation, but it’s been a bruising night in Munich. Florian Wirtz, Jamaal Musiala, Kai Havertz goals left the nation reeling before half-time, playing with 10 men for the entire second half after Ryan Porteous' red card.

In the build-up to Germany's second goal in the first half, Man Utd legend and former Celtic midfielder Keane had McGregor's sights for gambling when the hosts were building their play.
He then pulled him up for desperately trying to recover the situation in his own box before Musiala fired home. He said on ITV: "You can't gamble in the middle of the park. Look at McGregor here, you cannot gamble in the middle of the park.
"You cannot gamble against these players. There is no need. Stay goalside and even when it comes back, a bit of a gamble. He's an experienced player, use your head, lovely feet of course. Possible (trying to make up for the first mistake). He's made a big mistake and compounded it with the second one."
