Ex-Celtic star Robbie Keane rolls back years with stunning Soccer Aid strike and fans say same thing

Robbie Keane had fans purring after a stunning goal during Soccer Aid.

The former Celtic loanee showed that class is permanent as he curled a stunning goal beyond celebrity goalkeeper Paddy McGuinness to level for the World XI at Old Trafford and even had it been the top stoppers in the world - no one was keeping that one out.

He raced over to the sidelines to get a big hug from Martin Compston with new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino also impressed with the strike. It was the first of a double for the one-time Hoops striker in a six goal thriller for the fans as the World XI triumphed 4-2 and make it five wins on the trot against England XI.

Keane's second goal was just as impressive but it was Love Island's Kem Cetinay who grabbed the headlines as he became the all-time top goalscorer.

Reacting to the strikes of the Republic of Ireland legend, fans wrote on Twitter:

"What a beautiul strike."

"Class is permanent."

"This was really good finishing."

"The legend that is Robbie Keane."

"Reckon he would still score 10 a season for Spurs now."

"Stephen Kenny should get him in for Greece and Gibraltar."
