Robbie Keane has shown his love for old club Celtic by sporting a new jersey.
The former Republic of Ireland international, who is the most capped player in the country's history with over 150 appearances, was celebrating St Patrick's Day on his Instagram account. The ex-Spurs striker had a storied career in the English Premier League playing for the likes of Liverpool and the London side across two spells before making a loan move to the Hoops in 2010.
Keane wore the infamous number 7 shirt at Celtic Park and was a fan favourite upon his arrival, evening being awarded fans player of the year prize after netting 12 goals across sixteen appearances. And the 42-year-old has not forgotten his love for the Glasgow side as he posted a snap wearing Celtic's brand-new Adidas 'Origins Kit' which is to celebrate the club's roots.

He said upon signing for Celtic in 2010: "The club is massive. I am a Celtic fan and did not have to ask much about it. I always wanted to play for Celtic and it works for all parties."
He admitted in a recent interview with We are Liverpool podcast: "I can never understand this! In Ireland, you are brought up, as in like, you are given Celtic. That is just the way it is.
"And they you always have an English team, that is completely normal in Ireland. You ask anyone, you'd have loads of Liverpool fans now going to watch Celtic games, so that thing of being a fan grew legs.
"You are brought up Celtic, you are actually given Celtic, and then you pick your team in England. It was great, it's a fantastic club, playing in front of them fans is hard to describe.
"Liverpool and Celtic fans are very, very similar, in terms of the atmosphere and noise in the games. It was a really great experience that I really enjoyed, I was only there a few months, but having the opportunity to play for Celtic was great."
