Celtic have been told that they no chance of keeping loan striker Robbie Keane on a permanent basis.

The 29-year-old has scored eight goals in eight games since joining the Bhoys from Tottenham Hotspur, but Spurs first-team coach Joe Jordan insists a permanent deal is out of the question.

He told the Sunday Herald: "Without a doubt Keane will return, he's the captain.

"Harry Redknapp brought him back here and he was a major player in getting us out of trouble last season, not just on the pitch, but in the dressing room as well.

"He was an influential guy, he's a leader and there's not many of them going about. It wasn't just the player, it was the person we wanted."
