It seems that no amount of ridicule is enough to embarrass Ally McCoist.
During a brief career in management he led teams to defeat from Alloa, Forfar, Queen of the South and Raith Rovers. Presented with a Scottish Cup semi-final at Ibrox he managed to put out a team that lost to Dundee United.
Managerial ambitions seem to have been put on the back burner as he shares his views with BT Sport, TalkSPORT, ITV and Sky Sports. Last week McCoist appeared on all four.
With the manager’s job at Celtic currently vacant the former Question of Sport skipper decided to do some investigative work to come up with the story that everyone is chasing.
Roy Keane has been heavily linked with the Celtic job, to such an extent that last week bookmakers suspended odds on him getting the job.
Using his trademark charm McCoist decided to investigate as The Sun reports:
Speaking on talkSPORT, McCoist said: “He effectively ignored me really. Roy just kind of looked at me as if to say ‘yeah, and I’m really going to tell you the answer’.
“I got that, you know the stare, the world-famous stare – I was on the receiving end of it at Wembley on Thursday night! And I still don’t know whether he’s going to get the Celtic job or not. Effectively, that’s where we are on it.”
Should Roy Keane be the next Celtic manager
Yes, exactly what we need
No, never. We need to get serious
Keane hasn’t made any public comment on speculation linking him to the Celtic job. The Irishman has had two spells in management, at Sunderland and Ipswich Town, since then he has been assistant manager at Aston Villa, Ireland and Nottingham Forest.
