By Stephen BarryMartin O'Neill will return to Celtic Park as a Republic of Ireland XI will play Celtic in Scott Brown's testimonial in May. The FAI confirmed that Ireland will play Celtic on Sunday, May 20 at 2pm ahead of international friendlies away to France (May 28) and at home to the USA (June 2). A Celtic statement read: "A proportion of proceeds from the match will go towards various charities and causes of Scott's choice, including the family of former Celtic and Ireland player Liam Miller." It will be the second Celtic v Ireland testimonial O'Neill will have been involved in, having managed the Hoops for Jackie McNamara's testimonial against Brian Kerr's side in 2005. Robbie Keane struck the injury-time winner at Celtic Park that day, which was also O'Neill's last in charge of Celtic.
