SPL - Rasmussen happy in Keane shadows

PA Sport - Wed, 17 Mar 14:11:00 2010

Morten Rasmussen insists he is content to be in the shadow of Celtic team-mate Robbie Keane.

Celtic's Robbie Keane is pictured in action during their Scottish Premier League soccer match against Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium - 0

Both players arrived at Parkhead in January but the capture of the Irishman on a loan deal from Tottenham eclipsed Rasmussen's move from Danish side Brondby days earlier.

And while all the focus has been on Keane (pictured), who scored a hat-trick against Kilmarnock last weekend to take his tally to eight in eight games, Rasmussen has remained in the background and been used sparingly by boss Tony Mowbray.

Rasmussen has partnered Keane in Celtic's last two games, but is happy for the Republic of Ireland striker to enjoy the limelight while he takes time to get used to his new surroundings.

"I think Robbie Keane's arrival is a great thing," the striker told the Celtic View.

"He's a top-class player and it is always nice to play with someone who is that good. But I wasn't thinking of stardom when I came here. I just needed some time to get to know the Scottish league and my team-mates and that's fine with me."
