Keane Dismisses Celtic Links - Ipswich Town News

Roy Keane has dismissed reports linking him with the vacant manager’s job at his former club Celtic. The Blues boss says he is settled in the area, having recently bought a house in Woodbridge.

Keane said: "My new house is nearly ready and I’m focused on my job here. It’s dangerous to even comment on other jobs, but I’m very happy here, my family are, we’re moving into a new house.

"I’ve got staff who have moved to the area, they have committed with their families. I came here to do a job and I’m determined to do it and, please God, I get that opportunity.

"There have been ups and downs, and there have obviously been more downs than ups, so we’ve got to reverse that next year.

"We’ve got big plans for next year, I want us to be competing and I want us to be competing in the top six, but we need strengthening and I’ll know much more over the next few days where we stand on that.”

Keane says the only time you’ll see him in Glasgow will be to watch a game: "I’d be very surprised if you saw me walking through Celtic Park. I might get there in a few weeks to watch the Old Firm, but that’s about it.”
