Roy Keane couldn't resist getting in a cheeky dig about Celtic's lead over Rangers amid recent results in the Europa League.
The Irishman, who spent a brief spell at Parkhead as a player, is well known for his dry sense of humour and innate capability to come up with amusing wisecracks on the spot.
That was the case in the most recent episode of The Overlap's 'Stick to Football', in which Manchester United's run to the Europa League final was discussed.

Recorded before the Old Trafford side's semi-final second leg with Athletic Club, Keane was definitive in his stance that they would come through the tie unscathed.
United were 3-0 up from the first leg in Bilbao. Keane in no way thought the Basque outfit were capable of producing a memorable comeback, especially given how they struggled against Celtic's city rivals, Rangers.
He said: "United are through. Bilbao just about beat Rangers... Rangers are 300 points behind f****** Celtic!"
United did make it through to the Europa League final, defeating Athletic 4-1 on the night in the return leg and 7-1 on aggregate.
They will face Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur next month, who defeated Bodo/Glimt 5-1 in their last-four clash.
The Aussie manager reversed the scoreline that the Norwegians beat his Celtic side by in the UEFA Conference League back in 2022.
He claimed he 'always' wins things in his second seasons at clubs, and that could ring true at Spurs, as they face United in Bilbao later this month for a shot at European glory.
