Adam Virgo has opened up about one weird request Roy Keane made to him during his time at Celtic.

Keane, who would end his illustrious career at the Hoops, played alongside Virgo — but one moment in particular angered the Irishman.

The pair shared a lift to a game one morning, with Virgo driving and Keane in the passenger seat. However, Virgo made a decision that, in Keane’s eyes, was unacceptable.

Virgo said: (Undr the Cosh Podcast), “So he (Roy Keane) came in in January and he lived around the corner from me, I actually got to know him quite well.

“I didn’t have his number but he texted me and said, ‘It’s Roy here. Can you pick me up and we’ll go to the game together on the Saturday?’.

“So I picked him up, and I asked my missus at the time to sit in the back. He jumps in the car, sits in the front, we drive all the way there and nothing’s really said.

“Then on the Monday, he goes, ‘Can I have a word with you?’. And he literally went, ‘Don’t ever pick me up again with your missus in the car.’

“I thought he was winding me up. But he went, ‘No, no, don’t ever do that again.’ It was a really weird thing. Fair enough if I sat him in the back and she was in the front.

“But he just went, ‘Don’t ever do that again. Don’t ever pick me up with your missus in the car again.’ I just think he just felt the bit awkward a little bit.

“I don’t know why. I was chatting away to him and introduced names and stuff and then and then it was off. But yeah, it was very odd.

“He had a right go at me. He never asked for another lift and I wouldn’t have given him one!”

It’s a strange story from Virgo, and it would certainly be interesting to hear Keane’s side — the Irishman would no doubt have something to say about Virgo’s comments.

Keane is known for his straightforward approach to life, and if he becomes aware of the comments, he would likely be quick to respond.
