Keane offered end-of-season dates for testimonial

ROY KEANE has been offered some dates at the end of the season to play the testimonial which was agreed as part of his severance package with Manchester United.

The availability of players and potential commitments to next season’s Champions League qualifiers means it is easier for Keane to arrange the game at the end of the current campaign.

Although the former United skipper has yet to confirm any arrangements, it is thought the week commencing Monday, May 9, is the most likely time for any game, especially as Celtic will not be playing in the Scottish Cup final the following weekend.
