Keely's family have played League of Ireland football at various levels.
The tie finished 3–2 on aggregate, which had been the closest Glentoran came to reaching the last eight of European competition since 1974.
Keely's first managerial job was as UCD player-manager.
However, after just two months at Belfield Jim McLaughlin (football manager) persuaded Keely to sign for Shamrock Rovers.
His late father Peter Keely played for Shelbourne., his brother Joe played on the same Home Farm FAI Cup winning side of 1975 as Dermot himself.

In 1979, Dundalk reached the second round of the 1979–80 European Cup and were drawn with Celtic.
The first leg saw Dundalk produce a notable display to come away with a 3–2 defeat at Parkhead.
In the return leg in front of a packed Oriel Park with Keely as captain, Dundalk missed a last-minute opportunity to win the tie on away goals and the game finished 0–0.
This is regarded as one of the best performances by a League of Ireland club in European competition.
Two years later, Keely played his part in Glentoran's run to the second round of the European Cup.
In the first leg against CSKA Sofia, they lost 2–0.
However, the return leg saw Glentoran take a 2–0 lead, forcing the game into extra time.
