Robbie Keane, A Celtic Fan?

He's a moaning little tool and always bags one against us, hope the little tool stays there.

Has he said he's always supported Celtic??? :lol::lol:
 
I can remember when said Keane was at Molineux, played around at Coventry for a while before leaving for Milan of all places.

Keane is a Bhoy fancier as I understand it, born in Dublin and watching the teams of the 1980s, but too young to remember Moyes when he was involved in the east end of Glasgow.

I regard him as always being there or thereabouts as the goals go in, not too bad a player actually.

"It's absolutely fantastic, a real dream come true for me," he said.
"I've been a Liverpool fan all my life, going back to when I was a kid growing up in Dublin, and I always had a Liverpool shirt on my back. So, to be here now as a Liverpool player is incredible and I couldn't be happier.
"It's hard to describe how I'm feeling. The only way I could try to describe it is to compare it to when you're a little kid on Christmas Eve and you know you're about to get your presents.
"It's that excited feeling. You can't wait to open your presents the next day and you're buzzing inside.
"That's what it feels like for me now. I just can't wait to pull that red jersey on and run out at Anfield in front of the fans."

"It's absolutely unbelievable,'' Keane told them.

"This is the reason why I've always wanted to come to Celtic.

"It's no secret over the years I've been a Celtic fan.

"I'm hoping to bring a lot of success in the short time I'm here.''
 


Irish people will inevitably view Celtic as a club they support by virtue of the fact it's a club founded by the Irish. Many of them follow them whilst supporting their "EPL" club.

As for the football side of things: I think he'll fall on his arse there like his cousin did.

This. The vast majority of people support Celtic in addition to supporting their premier league team.

For example, my school organises a yearly trip to Celtic Park to see a home game and train with the coaches as it's the one football club that won't divide anybody.

Not to mention that Robbie Keane is from Tallaght, a working class area (was in his day, still is but to a lesser extent) in Dublin, as evidenced by his thick Dublin accent. Working class Irish people are also much more likely to support Celtic fervently.

Never been a Celtic fan myself, however. Always seen it as a sign of 'plastic' republicanism/nationalism on the part of southerners.

Always wanted to do a study on the positive and negative effects Celtic and Rangers have had on Irish (and Northern Irish) life over the past few decades.

An interesting thing to note is if you youtube the Love Ulster riots in Dublin a year or two back you'll see a number of the "nationalist youths" are wearing Celtic jerseys.

I've often said if you can solve the Celtic/Rangers rivalry you'll have peace in the North! :lol:
 
i believe celtic are bringing out a cape in his honour.
