Robbie Keane has responded to Robbie Fowler's jibes in jest over his support of Celtic - insisting it's handed to you from birth in the Republic of Ireland.
The striker had a successful career turning out for the likes of Inter Milan, Tottenham and Liverpool, spending a short spell at Celtic Park in 2010 before ending his career at LA Galaxy. According to Kop legend Fowler, Keane claimed he was both a supporter of Liverpool and the Premiership champions, which put him in a playful mood.
Speaking on the We are Liverpool podcast, the former striker teased ex-Leeds teammate Keane with 'we've all read the interviews, when you signed for Liverpool you were a supporter growing up, when you signed for Celtic you were a supporter growing up, when you signed for LA you were an LA fan.' The Republic of Ireland legend laughed it off, saying of his relationship and stint at Celtic: "I can never understand this! In Ireland, you are brought up, as in like, you are given Celtic. That is just the way it is.
