Former Celtic midfielder Lubo Moravcik believes the Glasgow club should try to keep Robbie Keane and make him the focal point of the side.

"Maybe the future for Celtic is to build the team around Keane as captain or a big player," said Moravcik.

"He could finish at Celtic. That would be perfect for him, and the club."

And when asked if Celtic should break the bank to keep the Irishman, Moravcik said: "Absolutely, he has a winning mentality. This is good for Celtic."

Keane has scored five times in six games since arriving in a transfer deadline day loan deal from Tottenham Hotspur.

But all parties have said he will return to London at the end of the season.

And while former Celtic fans' favourite Moravcik believes all efforts should be made to retain the striker's services, he added that Keane cannot bring success by himself.

"They have to have a player who is good alongside him up front. I don't know if Diomansy Kamara is that player. I've only seen him a couple of times for Fulham," said the Slovak.

"It's up to the management to bring in the right player because this team is not good enough as it's not getting results."

With Celtic currently trailing Rangers by 13 points, Moravcik, who won two Scottish Premier League titles with the Parkhead club, admitted his former team's chances of reclaiming the championship had practically evaporated.

"The Scottish Cup is the final focus for Celtic now. If they can get that then it's still a season with one trophy success," he said.

"I hope next season they will be better and can maybe get the title back."

After a brief spell in coaching, Moravcik plans to diversify within football.

The 44-year-old says he understands the pressures on Celtic boss Tony Mowbray having himself been sacked after just six months at his last club.

"I prefer now a new business in football - not coaching. I wasn't good at it," he said.

"It's very hard to be a coach. I would like to have more time to do something.

"But it depends how passionate the management is. I don't know the situation (at Celtic).

"It's not always the manager who is responsible for the results.

"They have to analyse that deeply and take action after that."
