Aiden McGeady says Roy Keane's apppointment as the new head coach would give Sunderland fans a lift following Lee Johnson's sacking.
Keane is among the leading candidates to return to the Stadium of Light hotseat, and is reportedly set for an interview with the club's hierarchy.
McGeady has worked with Keane at Celtic and with the Republic of Ireland, and speaking to Sky Sports News, said: "I played with Roy [Keane] I’ve known him for a long time. I played with him at Celtic, he was my coach at Ireland.
