Celtic to complete move for Keane

Roy Keane will sign for Celtic - and should complete his free transfer move this week, BBC Scotland understands.
It is believed that a portion of the 34-year-old's salary will be paid directly by the Parkhead club's major shareholder Dermot Desmond.
Former Republic of Ireland captain Keane has been much in demand since leaving Manchester United in November.
Celtic have so far refused to comment on the story, but it is understood that the deal is set to go through.
Spanish giants Real Madrid were said to be the front-runners for Keane's signature but president Florentino Perez was not prepared to move until January.
Premiership duo Bolton and Everton had approached Keane, while West Brom and West Ham were among other clubs to express their interest.
Keane has said in the past that he would like to end his career at Celtic Park but chairman Brian Quinn had expressed concern about the level of the player's wages.
That issue would appear to have been resolved with the aid of Desmond's financial contribution.
Keane is not eligible to play until the winter transfer window opens, so the first match he could feature in would be the 1 January visit to Hearts.
Real Madird wanted him... is he mad...

Have you ever seen the Old Firm derby?
I don't think I;ve ever seen such fast paced helter skelter football!
Not sure a 34 year old with knackered legs is going to be able to handle it to be honest.

Hahaha Glad they got him
Reckon he's well past his best, injury prone and slow. Will be costing a packet and hopefully a disruptive influence as well. Rudi Skacel will rip him for arse paper

He wanted to play for Celtic for ages, so it was obvious he would eventually end up there.
