Roy Keane has held talks with Celtic and will tell the club next week if he is ready to join them.
The former Manchester United captain has been courted by a host of clubs since his departure from Old Trafford and his lawyer Michael Kennedy claims Celtic is an option which interests him.
He said: "There have been talks with lots of clubs - including Celtic. Roy has one or two more clubs still to see and there will be a decision during the course of next week."
Everton yesterday joined the queue of clubs showing an interest in Keane, following West Brom, West Ham and Manchester City.
