Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane hopes familiarity will help him find the net when he returns to Celtic Park for Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland.

The striker scored 16 times in 19 games during a loan spell with Celtic from Tottenham Hotspur in 2010.

"In the past, I have been very, very lucky that I have scored a few on certain grounds I have been at before," said the 34-year-old. "I am certainly hoping that would be the case tomorrow."

Xavi is one of the most successful players of all time, having won 22 trophies in his career. Not bad going.

The Barcelona midfielder has spoken to MOTD Kickabout and says he grew up watching English stars John Barnes, Paul Gascoigne and Matt Le Tissier and cites current players Jack Wilshire and Raheem Sterling as having a great future ahead of them.

It's a great interview and you can see more of it on Football Focus on Saturday, 15 November, at 12:10 GMT on BBC One, BBC One HD and the BBC Sport website.

And back to England, with the FA announcing that Manchester United duo Tony Strudwick and Rod Thornley will be leaving the England set-up after next week's Scotland friendly.

Sports therapist Thornley has been working with England for 13 years, while fitness coach Strudwick came on board just prior to this summer's World Cup.

Let's nip away from Wayne and Roy to bring you the news that despite newspaper speculation linking the club with a move for former Cardiff boss Malky Mackay, Wigan say they have yet to make contact with any individual over the vacant manager's position.

I can categorically deny that any one candidate is ahead of any other as regards being appointed as the next manager of Wigan Athletic," said the club's chief executive Jonathan Jackson.

The Championship club sacked Uwe Rosler on Thursday, with the club 22nd in the table with three wins in 17 league games.

Wayne Rooney, on records and the future: "I think I can achieve plenty more. I think I have many years ahead of me and if selected I will always join up with the squad and be available to play. I love doing it.

"Once you get closer to records you do look at them but if they come they come.

"It is just about trying to do what I can to help get the team the pints on the day. If records come as well, then great. I hope I can do it but it is not something that is on my mind at the moment."

Wayne Rooney on the crowd reception he expects to receive at Wembley: "It will be incredible.

"Obviously as a young boy it was always a dream to go out and play at Wembley.

"It will be an incredibly special moment to receive the cap from Sir Bobby Charlton."

Wayne Rooney on his England career: "There have been some good and bad moments. It is something I have really enjoyed. It is always a great honour to play for England and something I want to continue doing for many more years.

"The goal is to win trophies but to join the group of players who have won 100 caps is something I'm very proud of.

"My debut was a proud moment and the tournament in 2004 are the moments that stand out for me."

Wayne Rooney is now answering questions from the media ahead of his 100th cap tomorrow.

Roy Hodgson on what the state of the Wembley pitch may be after last weekend's NFL game: "I have to have concerns with all that's been written and the reports which have been mainly negative.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm waiting to see.

"We're ready for the game on whatever surface we play it and whatever discussion on what it will be like can wait until after the game."

Roy Hodgson on Wayne Rooney, set to win his 100th cap against Slovenia tomorrow: "I congratulate him, just like I had the pleasure of congratulating Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard. It's quite incredible that under my watch four players have done the same.

"It is very difficult to summarise in just a few words what makes someone such a great England player that they can amass 100 caps.

"It is ability but also mental strength and the ability to pick yourself up sometimes when you come under scrutiny, and secondly an enormous passion to play for your country. They take the criticism and the scrutiny, they show the mental strength to come back stronger than ever.

"Any player that has played 100 times for England deserve the label great."

On whether Saido Berahino (pictured) or Nathaniel Clyne may make their debuts against Slovenia: "I'm not prepared to name the team, but the two of them are there to play.

"I have selected the team, but when it comes to qualifiers I don't think it's necessary for me to name the team ahead of the match.

"But, I reckon they'll be a few educated guesses out there."

Roy Hodgson on the bad run of injuries England players have had of late: "We've had two injuries like this in training.

"(Daniel) Sturridge was the first and now Leighton.

"Michael Carrick felt he could get through his problem initially, but then pulled out. It certainly wasn't something he picked up in any of our training sessions.

"I think Leighton Baines's injury might be the accumulation of Everton playing a lot of games recently."

Roy Hodgson begins the news conference by explaining the injury to Leighton Baines: "It was a relatively short training session.

"We'd had the warm-up and we were about to go into a game situation when he felt his hamstring.

"He obviously felt something wasn't right, but we'll have to wait until the experts do their analysis to see how bad the damage is."

More from Javier Ballesteros, who spoke movingly about his late father after announcing his decision to turn pro.

"My father had a long and difficult start in golf; mine is a bit easier, although I have a disadvantage in the sense that everyone will always compare us and will expect from me, not what my dad achieved but half of it……. which is already a lot," said Javier.

"Today, my dad comes specially to my mind. He taught me everything or almost everything I know about golf, and I would have loved him see me turning pro. I am sure he would be very proud and happy".

Here, here.

We're moments away from hearing from England manager Roy Hodgson and Wayne Rooney ahead of tomorrow's Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia.

Stay tuned here for the main lines.

The name Ballesteros conjures images of the late, great Seve carving up golf courses and winning tournaments galore.

But now there is another Ballesteros on the block. Seve's eldest son, Javier, has taken the decision to turn professional.

The 24-year-old said: "This is something I have always wanted. Whether I will succeed or not, time will tell; however, I do not want to regret not having tried my best, and must give it a go."

Former France and Man United striker Eric Cantona has added his voice to the growing wave of criticism of FIFA's vote to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.

A day after world football's governing body was thrown into turmoil when its own chief investigator Michael Garcia criticised a report exonerating Qatar and Russia of any wrongdoing in their World Cup bids, Cantona said: Qatar is just "a very wealthy country which has bought itself a World Cup".

"When you award the World Cup to a country, it is to develop football there," Cantona explained. "But what is there that can be done in Qatar? How many people live in Qatar?"
