Celtic may play United in Keane testimonial

CELTIC are considering a request to play Manchester United in a testimonial for Roy Keane on Wednesday, August 3.

Keane is on the verge of completing 12 seasons with the Old Trafford outfit, during which time he has won seven Premiership titles and four FA Cups. Though he famously missed out on the 1999 Champions League final triumph over Bayern Munich through suspension, the 33-year-old has long since established himself as one of the Red Devils’ all-time greats and the foremost midfield player of his generation.

Having apparently completed a U-turn over the idea of a testimonial, Celtic would be an automatic choice of opponent for Keane, who has never made any secret of his love for the Hoops, even though he grew up supporting Tottenham Hotspur.
