Celtic manager Tony Mowbray has praised on-loan striker Robbie Keane after the Irishman's brace secured a 2-0 win over Falkirk on Sunday.
The 29-year-old has now scored five goals since joining on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in January.
Mowbray was pleased with Keane’s teamwork against Falkirk and believes his team-mates should look to learn from the Republic of Ireland international’s quality.
"Top players have that motivation in-bred," Mowbray told the Daily Record.
"That's part and parcel of being a top player.
"For some of our younger players, hopefully it will rub off.
"They will see that, if you are going to play at the top level anywhere in the world - and Robbie has played all over the world - that is something which has got to come from within.
"It's not something you can switch on and off on match day.
"Another example would be Wayne Rooney. Whenever he plays, he runs around, tackles, chases and fights.
"That's driven from within, and I think Robbie wants to score goals, wants to help his team and his club.
"I was delighted with his performance on Sunday."
