The bookmaker has revealed that the Republic of Ireland assistant
manager has taken issue with his face being used on a billboard last
month
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".
"Roy Keane has taken legal action against us following his face appearing on our braveheart billboard ahead of the Ireland Scotland game," read a statement from Paddy Power. "It's with the lawyers so obviously we can't talk about it, but hopefully they won't take our freedom to have a bit of craic."
The bookmaker has taken a light-hearted view of the situation, posting a number of humorous tweets on its official Twitter page, including one that declares they are "READY" for the case.
Bookmaker Paddy Power has confirmed that Roy Keane is taking "legal action" over the use of his image in a promotional billboard ahead of the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland in June.
