‘Robbie still has a part to play,’ argues Keane

Roy Keane insisted Robbie Keane still has a significant role to play for the Republic of Ireland yesterday despite being dropped for the first time in 13 years.

The 34-year-old LA Galaxy striker headed back to the United States on Saturday after being released from the squad a day after being used only as a substitute in Ireland’s 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifier defeat in Scotland.

Assistant manager Keane, a former Ireland teammate, was adamant that the nation’s record cap-holder and goalscorer remains a key member of Martin O’Neill’s squad.

He said: “Robbie Keane is massive for this team, absolutely massive.

“Everyone keeps saying he was disappointed — of course he was. Tell me any player who is going to be left out of a big game who is not going to be disappointed. That’s what you expect from Robbie.”
