Roy Keane becomes favourite to take over at Celtic as former Hoops boss Martin O'Neill hails his 'strong character' as perfect for the position

Former Manchester United hardman Roy Keane has emerged as the new favourite to take over as manager of Celtic.

The Scottish giants are on the lookout for a new boss after parting ways with Neil Lennon in February, following a sustained miserable run of form.

Celtic have missed out on a historic tenth consecutive title after Steven Gerrard's Rangers ran away with the division and are still yet to lose a single domestic game all season.
