Keane will stay - Strachan

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is confident Roy Keane will still be a Hoops player next season.

The 34-year-old midfielder only arrived from Manchester United in January but has since hinted that a long-standing hip injury could force him to retire at the end of the season.

However, Strachan said: “I think I will have Roy next season. He loves it at the club and I can’t see him leaving.

“I see people bowing to Teddy Sheringham and quite rightly because he’s 40.

“At my club if you get to 33 or 34 you’ve got to move on. Why?

“Gary McAllister was a star at Liverpool and there are players playing at all sorts of ages.

“It’s just fitness that counts. Fitness, speed, motivation – if you’ve got that then fine.”

Strachan is also looking to boost his squad, adding: “We will try and bring players in, no doubt about that.

“We will look at our budget at the end of the season but nobody has been asked to leave this club.

“What we’ve got to try to do is add to the squad.”
