Livingston new-boy Wesley Hoolahan is looking forward to renewing brief but strained relations with Roy Keane when Celtic visit Almondvale in the Bank of Scotland Premier League in March.
The former Shelbourne midfielder, who has joined the West Lothian club for an undisclosed fee until 2008, follows in the footsteps of his more high-profile compatriot who arrived in Scotland at the end of last year to sign for the Parkhead club.
Hoolahan goes straight into Paul Lambert's squad for the Tennent's Scottish Cup third round tie against Alloa on Saturday.
But the 22-year-old has one eye on the SPL encounter with his boyhood heroes Celtic later on in the season.
He said: "I played against Roy Keane at Tolka Park in a pre-season friendly for Shelbourne (in 2002).
"We lost 5-0 and it was a thrill to play against Keano, he was as hard as nails and it was no friendly as it was played like a league match.
"I am a massive Celtic fan and it will be great to face him again."
