Calderwood praises Keane
14th March 2010
Kilmarnock boss Jimmy Calderwood lavished praise on Robbie Keane after the striker ended his side's cup hopes following the 3-0 defeat by Celtic in the Active Nation Scottish Cup quarter-final clash.
Keane, on loan from Tottenham, proved a big handful for the Kilmarnock defence and was ultimately the difference between the two sides.
"In all fairness to Jamie Fowler, he marked him well in the first half and I thought it worked well but you can't keep good players down," Calderwood said.
"The lad is wonderful and plays with a smile on his face. I watched him down at Tottenham and you could see how much pleasure he takes from playing football.
"He is probably a very rich lad but he takes so much pleasure, he plays football like a wee boy.
"But I thought the first goal was poor. I'm not sure if it was down to the keeper or Scott Severin but I don't think the keeper's starting position was right. We had chances but we had to score the first goal."
