Newcastle United have made an offer for Celtic wing dazzler Aiden McGeady.
Keegan wants McGeady to start the season at St James' Park but knows he faces a big task in persuading the Hoops to sell - the winger signed a five-year deal on Saturday.
Republic of Ireland ace McGeady is a product of the Celtic youth system and, at 22, his career is ready for lift-off.
McGeady can double his wages away from Celtic Park, with squad members at St James' picking up around £40,000 a week.
