Keane may retire at end of season

Celtic midfielder Roy Keane may consider hanging up his boots at the end
of the current campaign.
The 34-year-old ex-Manchester United star is contracted to stay at Parkhead
for another season but a long-standing hip problem may lead to a rethink.
He told the Guardian: "When I signed for Celtic I did say it would be best
to maybe look at things in the summer.
"They were keen for me to sign for the extra year, which I did. I will see
how my hip is bearing up in the summer."
Keane completed a switch from Old Trafford to Celtic by signing an 18-month
deal in December 2005.
He added: "I am due to go back to the hip specialist in the summer.
"It is important to be fair to myself and the club if it is affecting me.
"I will weigh it up then but there are no guarantees about next season,
I have to say."
The former Republic of Ireland captain had a hip operation in September
2002 following concerns about whether the injury would cut short his career.
He also revealed in February 2003 that he may require a hip replacement
once his playing days were over.
"Since having the surgery in 2002 I have regarded every season as a bonus
but I have got to look at the long-term side of it and see what is best
for me and my family," stated Keane.
"Over the last few months I have always put football first but, come the
summer, I need to look at what is best for my family."
Keane, who played for the Red Devils for 12-and-a-half years, is set to
have a Manchester United testimonial against Celtic later this year, with
9 May a possible date for the match.
