Celtic swoop for Keane
Celtic have pulled off a significant transfer coup by signing Robbie Keane on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season.
Republic of Ireland striker Keane joins his boyhood idols after falling out of favour at White Hart Lane.
The 29-year-old is Tony Mowbray's eighth capture in the last month and is by far the most high profile.
Speaking shortly before the transfer was confirmed, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports News: "It's a good move. Robbie needs to play. He's too good a player not to be starting here regularly. He wants to play all the time.
Redknapp believes Keane will relish the move, adding: "To go to Celtic is a dream come true for him. He's a big Celtic man and he'd like to go up to Celtic and play like Roy Keane did.
"The Irish lads, it's in their blood and they dream of playing for Celtic one day. This opportunity is one they want to take and we don't want to stand in his way, because we're strong in that position."
