The Sunday Times:

Roy Keane has given his strongest indication yet that this could be his last season as a player. The Celtic midfielder, who commutes from his Cheshire home, revealed he has two options at the end of this campaign. ‘It would either be moving lock, stock and barrel to Glasgow or packing it in. What I'm doing now I couldn't do next year, especially if we were in Europe.'

Keane's decision may be made for him. Reports last night suggested that League One side Nottingham Forest, where he began his career, were hoping to take him back to the City Ground as the club's new manager. While looking to the future, he also had a word about his past. Keane said his swift departure from Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, after over 12 years of service, came with no regrets.
