KEANE CAN EXPECT ‘HELL'

Rangers boss Alex McLeish:

"I'm sure Roy will get a very 'special' reception from our
fans - but he'll love it, I'm sure of that.

"It would probably be better if I told our supporters to be
quiet when Keane gets the ball so he doesn't get any extra
motivation from them. He's a fantastic player but our fans
will give him a rough time."

Sir Alex Ferguson:

"You can't avoid the hype surrounding this game. It should
be a fantastic atmosphere but my players will know how to
handle themselves. We've played against some of the biggest
clubs in the world, so we know what to expect.

"There's no England and Scotland game anymore, so this is
the closest thing. It's the biggest game in Scotland for
years and it has the potential to be a marvellous game.

"It's going to be so noisy at Ibrox we'll end up using sign
language with the players. But we have the experience of
playing in games like this, so nothing will faze us."

Ray Wilkins:

"Keane is still so influential to United that it's almost
embarrassing. He's also a Celtic nut so for him this game
will be huge. He goes to Old Firm games and the Rangers fans
will know that.

"Because of his importance to United and because of his
Celtic allegiance, Roy will certainly know he has been in a
match when he leaves Ibrox.

"I never experienced anything in my career like an Old Firm
match - and the Rangers fans will be just as up for this
match as they would if they were playing Celtic."
