Career

Keogh originally played Junior football for Maryhill, and moved to Clyde with a batch of other Junior players in 1998. [1] This move was successful; Clyde gained promotion to the Scottish First Division.

He was most successfully deployed as a forward at Clyde, where he scored some spectacular goals. Keogh spent six years at Broadwood and became a fan favourite. He scored a hat-trick in his last game for the club, in a 5–2 win against Brechin City. [1]

After signing for Hamilton Academical (where he linked up with the management team who signed him for Clyde, Allan Maitland and Ronnie MacDonald) [1] and then Partick Thistle, he made his way to Stranraer where he was named captain for the 2007-08 season.

After playing in only a handful of games for Stranraer, Keogh signed for Scottish Third Division side Forfar Athletic in June 2008, [2] but after his appearances were limited by injuries he was released by the club in February 2009. [3] Beith Juniors signed Keogh later that month, [4] but injuries prevented him from ever playing for the club. [5]

Coaching

After retirement, Keogh returned to Broadwood as a youth team coach in 2013. [6] [7]

He eventually returned to Maryhill Juniors as well, this time as a first team coach. [8]

Personal life

Keogh grew up in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. [9]

His grandfather Basil Keogh also played for Clyde in the 1950's, while the club played at Shawfield. [7]
