Manchester United skipper Roy Keane would only move to Celtic when his career is "over" in England, said his adviser, Michael Kennedy.

The lawyer has attempted to kill off the ongoing speculation linking the Republic of Ireland midfielder with a move to Parkhead.

Kennedy told the Daily Record:"When his career is over, yes, he may well move to Celtic. "By that I mean when his career is over down here - but at this moment he is committed to United and he will be staying there.

"Hopefully he will be renewing his existing contract which still has two years to run, so any such move is a long way off I'm afraid."

Keane fuelled the speculation by watching last week's Old Firm derby among the Celtic supporters.

But Kennedy said: "I have spoken to him about Celtic many times. It's fair to say if he did go to Scotland, Celtic are the only team he'd play for. But at the moment it's not even being considered. Roy has not been promoting the idea at all. He goes to watch an Old Firm game every year because he likes to see good football."
