  "account": "Roy Keane's appearance at Celtic Park during a defeat to Rangers has been downplayed by those close to the club. The former Celtic and Manchester United midfielder, friend of current manager Martin O'Neill, clarified on the Stick to Football podcast that his presence at the match had no intention of replacing the manager. Following Celtic's loss, Keane commented on the \"ups and downs of football\" to Celtic AM. Given that Keane's last managerial role was 15 years ago, speculation about him becoming the next boss appears unfounded. However, the suggestion remains open as the club operates in unconventional ways.",
