'Who do you think you are?' - Roy Keane rages at Rod Stewart after 'bully' claim

Roy Keane has hit back at Rod Stewart for labelling him a 'bully' by asking the rocker 'Who do you think you are?'

The football legend also criticised one of Stewart's live performances, branding it as 'rubbish'. Known for his intense personality, Keane's leadership under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United led to seven Premier League titles, making him the most successful captain in the club's history.

"He has a go at everybody! He's not great. Great at what? Singing? I saw him a few years ago, he was rubbish that night. Rubbish, I swear. We have bad games, I didn't say he's not a good singer, he was just rubbish that night I saw him."

Asked what made him 'bad', Keane went on: "His voice! He had a bad night. He's pushing on a bit now, there must come a point like a boxer where as a singer you go, 'You've had a good run, enough's enough'.

"We've had it as players. When do people say to a singer, 'Come on, you've had a good innings, enough's enough, get off the stage'? Get off the stage Rod. Yeah, that's right. Get him on (the podcast).

But what did Stewart say to get under his skin? "I think Roy can be a bit of a bully sometimes," he told talkSPORT.

"I admired him as a player but he's a bit of a bully. There's a way of speaking your mind and I think he's far
