Celtic have been linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane that could see Scott Brown move in the opposite direction. It is claimed the Scottish giants are considering a £7million bid for the Republic of Ireland international, whose future at White Hart Lane has been put in doubt by the strength of Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe's emerging partnership. The 29-year-old returned to Spurs in the winter transfer window because he was struggling to get into the Liverpool side and there are fears he may find himself marginalised again. Harry Redknapp is interested in midfielder Brown and could use Keane as bait to attract the Scotland international, according to the Daily Mirror. Keane's high wage demands are seen as a problem, but Celtic supremo Dermot Desmond  would consider breaking the bank for such a high-profile signing.
