Kevin Kilbane believes the working relationship between Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane will be a positive one.

The former Ireland player was speaking to Newstalk Breakfast this morning.

There has been speculation that Keane's presence could cause friction, given his history.

But Kilbane believes that the former captain will complement O'Neill's style.

"Roy will be very imposing as a character while Martin O'Neill will show that bit of inspiration that the players need. I think the dynamics will work out well between the two of them," said Kilbane.
