Keane's double leads Celtic over Falkirk
Soccer Betting Lines
03/07/2010 -
Falkirk, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robbie Keane scored a goal in each half
and Celtic defeated Falkirk 2-0 on Sunday at Falkirk Stadium for its first win
over the struggling club in three matches this season.
Celtic settled for draws in its first two games with Falkirk, 3-3 on the road,
and 1-1 at Parkhead. The Bhoys claimed the third meeting against the side last
in the Scottish Premier League to move back within 10 points of Rangers.
Rangers dropped Celtic 10 points off the pace last Sunday with a 1-0 victory
in the Old Firm, and beat St. Mirren 3-1 on Saturday to push its lead to 13.
Celtic manager Tony Mowbray considered benching Keane following his match with
Ireland earlier this week against Brazil, but the Tottenham loanee started and
rewarded his coach with his third and fourth goals.
"I was half tempted to put Robbie on the bench after (the Brazil game) midweek
but I started him and he got his goals," Celtic boss Tony Mowbray said on the
league's website.
Keane, who is Ireland's captain, turned an assist from Morten Rasmussen into
the opener in the 34th when he slotted low past Falkirk goalie Robert Olejnik.
Keane added his second in the 79th when he met a free kick from Marc Crosas to
beat Olejnik for the second time.
Celtic kept its slim title hopes alive, but would still need a collapse in the
closing weeks from Rangers to dethrone the defending champions.
Falkirk boss Steven Pressley was pleased with the effort, but his side sits in
last place and three points behind Hamilton and St. Mirren.
"I thought we controlled the game for long periods and I'm devastated for the
players," Pressley said.
Morgaro Gomis scored in the 78th as Dundee United reclaimed third with a 1-0
win over Hearts at Tannadice Park.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
