Roy Keane played a prank on goalkeeping coach Seamus McDonagh

Roy Keane's not normally known as one for joking around, but he caught out Republic of Ireland goalkeeping coach Seamus McDonagh during a training session at Euro 2016.

Ireland's assistant admitted he would have kicked any team-mate who repeatedly spoke of leaving his club after questioning Belgium star Eden Hazard's attitude ahead of the Republic of Ireland's Group E clash with Marc Wilmots' side.

But he showed his lighter side with this hilarious training ground prank which left McDonagh on the floor!

The former Manchester United midfielder rolled another ball into the path of McDonagh just as he was about to kick a stationary ball.

It caused a bit of confusion for the Ireland coach, who ended up on the deck as Keane and another of Martin O'Neill's coaching staff walked away laughing.

Keane then showed he's still go it, producing a tidy bit of skill to flick a ball up before punting it into the air after a couple of keepy uppies!
