Martin O'Neill open to idea of non-playing role for Robbie Keane at Euro 2016

Martin O'Neill has admitted he could take Republic of Ireland skipper Robbie Keane to the Euro 2016 finals even if he does not make it into the squad.

The 35-year-old LA Galaxy striker has returned to his club after failing to shake off a niggling knee injury and will play no part in tomorrow night's friendly against Slovakia at the Aviva Stadium having missed Friday night's 1-0 victory over Switzerland.
