Keane move concludes recession-hit window
LONDON: Robbie Keane (pictured) was at the center of another transfer deadline day of drama as the Ireland captain completed a late loan move from Tottenham to Celtic.
A year after returning to Spurs from Liverpool, Keane, who had fallen behind Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe in the White Hart Lane pecking order, moved north in search of first-team football with the decision made easier for him by Tottenham's decision to sign Eidur Gudjohnsen, a similar style of player, on loan from Monaco, earlier this week.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp said: "Robbie wants to play and I have Crouch, Defoe and (Roman) Pavlyuchenko and I signed Gudjohnsen so it will be difficult to guarantee him a starting place and he has to be playing regularly so I have decided to let him go on loan until the end of the season."
