Former Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon has been speaking about Roy Keane's time as manager of Sunderland, as the Irishman has been linked to Hibernian. In fact, Gordon has claimed that it would be 'brilliant' for Scottish football if Keane took a managerial role north of the border.
"I think it would be brilliant for Scottish football in terms of the stature that he would bring, and the press attention that he would bring not only to Hibs, but to Edinburgh as well,” Gordon told the Scotsman. "I think he could be a very good manager, he proved that early on at Sunderland when he got them promoted [to the Premier League] and kept them in the league."
The Hearts goalkeeper mentioned that perhaps Keane's achievements at Sunderland were perhaps not looked at favourably at the time. Considering Sunderland 's current position in League One, their relative security in the Premier League under Keane looks all the more impressive in hindsight.
