Former Republic of ireland and Manchester United Captain Roy Keane has fulfilled his boyhood dream, and signed for Scottish Premier League giants Celtic FC.

Midfielder Keane has been a Celtic supporter since he was a young boy, and he always said that after leaving Manchester United, he wouldn't play for another English club.

He has signed an 18 month contract worth £40,000 per week with the Glasgow side, and will join Gordon Strachan's team straight away.

Keane left Manchester United, where he had been playing since 1993, last month, in a surprise decision, and had been linked with a move to Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid.

That deal was put on hold after Keane passed a medical last Sunday, due to the Real Madrid coach Wanderley Luxemburgo being sacked, following an emergency meeting of the club's board on Sunday.
