Fan pressure over Keane
Dozens of Celtic supporters clubs have signed a joint statement opposing Robbie Keane's potential appointment as manager. The objection stems from Keane's previous role with Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. (1) (2)
With Keane currently the odds-on favourite for the job, the public letter puts real pressure on the board at a time when repairing the rift with the fanbase was already a stated priority. The club must now weigh whether pushing ahead with Keane is worth the backlash, especially with the summer rebuild already hampered by the lack of a settled hierarchy.

Celtic supporters on Reddit are broadly backing the statement, with many pointing out that dozens of officially recognised supporters clubs putting their names to it makes this harder for the board to ignore. The mood seems to be that if the club genuinely wants to mend relations with the fanbase, listening to this objection is a non-negotiable first step.
