RVN:

'It was a big shock. (Keane)

'His leadership and quality of play and his character will always be within us because I worked with him and trained with him for four and a half years, and he was the best player I ever played with, and it's just a shame it stops now.'

'It was a sad day to hear it and I needed time to deal with it and get over it, which is impossible in such a short time, but you have to forget a little bit and focus on the game.

'It made such an impact on all of us really. But then the game was here and we were all motivated to do well, and we had to make sure we got a good victory, which we did.'

SAF:

'It has been a difficult week but it is in the nature of our club that we have to come through them.

'This game on Tuesday is absolutely vital, we've got to win this game to qualify for the last 16 and it is truly, really important.'

Asked if he had anything to add regarding Keane, he said: 'No, no. There was a very amicable meeting with Roy yesterday.

'I said he was a fantastic player for this club, my best player in my time here and one of the best players at the club in its history, and we wished each other well.
