Roy Keane slams Brendan Rodgers and Celtic | OneFootball

Celtic lost at home in the Champions League to Anderlecht on Wednesday but they still qualified for the Europa League and Brendan Rodgers seemed pretty pleased.

The Celtic manager said after the match: “[The players] won’t feel good tonight because we’ve lost the game but if you look over the course of the six games: we had a great result out there [in Belgium], we’ve put in some decent performances, not got the results.

“Tonight the best team won. The players have achieved their overall objective, to get to the Europa League. We’ve done that having been the fourth seed in the group, it’s a great testament to the actual players getting through.”

And, in a response that will come as a shock to absolutely no one, Roy Keane was not impressed with Rodgers’ remarks.

Keane took a shot at Rodgers and what he perceived to be the lack of ambition shown by the Celtic boss.

The ex-Ireland international told ITV: “I think the key to management nowadays is to set your standards really, really low and you’ll be in the game for a long time.”

And Keane wasn’t a fan of what he saw from the players themselves, either.

He added: “I thought it was a shocking result, a really, really poor performance. Brendan’s talking there about it being a great achievement. It’s not just acceptable for Celtic, it really isn’t’.

“Losing at home to Anderlecht? Come on, give me a break.”

To be fair, Keane may have a point but he probably would have had something negative to say even if Celtic had beaten Anderlecht.
