Simon Jordan thinks former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane is “done” in football management amid links to the Celtic job.
Keane, who is currently a pundit for Sky Sports, has been heavily linked with the job at Parkhead despite Chris Wilder now favourite with the bookies after leaving Sheffield United.
The United legend, who played for Celtic before hanging up his boots, has managed Sunderland and Ipswich Town but has only had assistant roles since leaving Portman Road in 2011.

And Jordan reckons Scottish side Celtic would be taking a “huge risk” by appointing Keane due to his “outlook, attitude and disposition”.
“I think it’s a huge risk [to appoint] the Roy Keane we have now,” Jordan told talkSPORT.
“Roy Keane going into management the first time around, possibly, but the Roy Keane we’ve got now? I think as a football manager he’s done.
“You can look at Roy’s managerial record and take in any which way. When he went into Sunderland he had an immense impact for a short period of time because they were languishing at the bottom of the league. If you look at the impact of a short-term appointment, he did that.
“But then you look at when he went to Ipswich and it was the converse, he did a job that ultimately wasn’t of the greatest ilk. He’s been in at Republic of Ireland, he’s been in at Aston Villa…
“I think at times he’s an outstanding pundit and some of his analysis, his thinking and hold-to-account outlook and attitude is engaging, but some of his pantomime villain stuff, not so much.
“I think Celtic have a big job on their hands and they need people capable of doing this job to bridge this gap… whether there’s an affinity or association is not the question here, really.
“As a manager, he’s done. I don’t think there’s a real place for Roy with some of his outlook, attitude and disposition. He’s now in the media and he’s very good at it.
“He’ll have a different view of course, but for Celtic to do the job they need to do, to rebuild the team and get rid of that’s gone on over the last 12 months, you need serious people to do a serious job.
“I don’t dispute Roy Keane is a serious individual, but I don’t think he’s got the skill set to give Celtic what they really need.”
