Michael Stewart has dismissed Roy Keane's midweek jibe about playing for Hibs and Hearts.
The pair played together for Manchester United at the turn of the century when Keane was the captain and Stewart a fledgling breaking into the top squad from the youth set-up.
Rio Ferdinand brought up BBC pundit Stewart during a light-hearted conversation on Gary Neville podcast the Overlap where he recalled hearing Keane warn the Scottish kid he'd end up playing for a pub team.
The Irishman's response: "I was right. He played for Hibs and Hearts."
After being asked about his week and a certain clip on social media by BBC host Kenny McIntyre, Stewart replied jokingly: "What clip? What are you talking about?
"It was funny. It was a very, very funny clip I've got to say. A good laugh, a joke.
"It would have been a good night for the bedwetters who would have got their nappies on at that.
"It was a joke. A good laugh.
"I'm pretty sure there's a few folk that got excited about it."
