Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane has agreed to join SPL
giants Celtic on loan.
The Ireland international emerged as a potential target for
the Hoops on a frantic transfer deadline day.
With the experienced frontman currently out of favour at
White Hart Lane, Tony Mowbray hoped to convince Spurs that the
29-year-old would be better served taking in a spell at Parkhead.
Harry Redknapp, reluctant to stand in Keane's way, has agreed
to such a request and is happy to let the Irishman stay in Scotland
until the end of the season.
Celtic have verbally agreed a deal with the player, who is
currently on his way to Glasgow to undergo a medical and put the
finishing touches to the switch.
It is understood that an agreement will be officially
announced by Celtic at 11pm.
Scottish clubs have until midnight to complete their transfer
business during the winter window.
