Rangers have had a wonderful season, with Steven Gerrard’s side winning the league title, while Celtic are on the hunt for a new permanent manager.

The Gers have already wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title, and it is only the middle of March.

Celtic were looking to make it 10 league titles in a row this campaign, but the Hoops have had a torrid season and could not do much of note in Europe either.

Neil Lennon stepped down from his managerial role at Celtic in February, and the Bhoys are looking for his permanent successor at the moment.

One of the names mentioned in regard to the Celtic job is Roy Keane. According to The Scottish Sun, former Manchester United midfielder Keane is interested in going back to the Hoops in a managerial capacity.

The former Republic of Ireland international midfielder, who is without a managerial role at the moment, played for the Hoops in 2005-06 before deciding to hang up his boots.

The 49-year-old managed Sunderland and Ipswich Town and worked as an assistant at Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and the Republic of Ireland national football team.

Some Rangers fans have given their take on Keane potentially taking charge of Celtic on Twitter, and below are some of the best comments:
