Robbie Keane will retire from Republic of Ireland duty after Oman game

Robbie Keane announces that the Republic of Ireland's friendly against Oman on 31 August will be his last international.

"I have enjoyed it all. It has also been a great honour, for both me and my family, to have been given the opportunity to captain my country for over 10 years.

"As a young boy growing up in Dublin playing football on the street I could never have imagined the path my life would take. It has exceeded my wildest expectations."
