EXTRA TIME
Bookmaker Paddy Power has confirmed that Roy Keane is taking "legal action" over the use of his image in a promotional billboard ahead of Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland in June.

The billboard featured an image of Keane in the style of the character William Wallace from the 1995 film 'Braveheart' accompanied by the words: "You may take our points, but at least we have our freedom".
