Roy Keane has slammed Manchester City , claiming Pep Guardiola 's squad isn't as good as he thinks it is.

Guardiola made nine changes to the side for Tuesday night's Champions League clash against Celtic at the Etihad.

The move backfired as City's second-string were held 1-1 , although the hosts had already qualified for the Champions League knockouts as Group C runners-up.

Keane has accused the Spaniard of disrespecting his opponents, and doubts whether Guardiola's fringe players are up to the task.

Speaking as a pundit on ITV, he said: "Their squad probably isn't as good as maybe Manchester City think or even the manager.

"Obviously they knew they were already through but they showed a lot of disrespect to Celtic and Celtic were the slightly better team and could have gone on to win."

Keane added: "He's a good player [Patrick Roberts] and took full advantage of the opportunity.

"Having said that, I thought the defending from Manchester City was absolutely shocking. They showed a lot of arrogance towards the game last night and perhaps disrespect to Celtic."

The former Celtic star has also cast doubt over whether City will reach the latter stages of the competition, adding: "I think [they will struggle]. Particularly defensively."
