Celtic are ready to break the bank to land Tottenham striker Robbie Keane in January.
The Mirror says Celtic have already started the ball rolling and would buy Keane and pick up his wages in one of the biggest coups of their illustrious history - a move that works on many levels.
Keane is 29 and would cost around £7 million if Celtic bought him - so Spurs would look for that kind of cash in a straight deal or as part of an exchange.
The Irishman is in the Spurs starting line-up just now but may be available down the line as Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch look like being their first-choice pairing.
Celtic supremo Dermot Desmond found the funds for namesake Roy Keane and would be willing to fork out to land Keane in one of the largest signings in recent times for the famous outfit.
