Roy Keane at Celtic Park: fan or scout?

Who will exit Celtic Park in January?

It looks as though there will be some upheaval at Celtic Park in the January transfer window. The club have already added Ki Sung Yueng to the team, although who knows when the clearance for the player will come through.

The Celtic fans will be hoping for more recruits throughout January but it may well take a number of players leaving in the first place to fund these new signings.

The sight of Roy Keane at a Celtic Rangers game is not uncommon. The player performed tremendously at Ibrox in one of them and has been seen in the crowd on a number of other occasions.

However, now that Roy Keane is the manager of Ipswich Town, was his visit business or pleasure?

Ipswich have been linked with Stephen McManus since the summer but if Keane came to see this player in action, he’d have been disappointed with McManus’ place on the bench.

The speculation over Gary Caldwell is still alive and well and it almost appears to be a done deal that is moving to Middlesbrough with former boss, Gordon Strachan. A player with Gary Caldwell’s ego may think that a move to the Premiership is more his level but the speculation is all based about a move to the Championship.

Another player hotly tipped to be on his way to the Riverside Stadium is Barry Robson. Hard work and endeavour is what you get with Barry Robson, what you don’t get is a right foot. It is unlikely that too many Celtic fans would be upset if their former manager took Barry Robson from them.

A goal in a Celtic Rangers match is always going to grab the headlines and Scott McDonald’s opener would have caught the attention of any watching scouts. The Aussie striker started on the bench and it has to be said that his style of play is not entirely suited to the way that Tony Mowbray wants Celtic to play football.

Graham Spiers in The Times today said that McDonald was involved in a row with boss Tony Mowbray and this could hasten the small strikers exit from the club. Again, Gordon Strachan could be waiting to pick up the striker but Premier interest may come from Wigan.

When you add in a number of fringe players like Willo Flood, Mark Wilson, Koki Mizuno and Chris Killen to name a few, Celtic should be looking to offload a few players this season. And this doesn’t take into account any big bid that may come in for a major name like McGeady or Boruc.

Celtic fans, who would you sell?
