Edit ProfileCareer
He previously played for Clydebank, and As a regular and a stand out for both Primary and Secondary School teams a move into the senior game looked inevitable. Keenan began his professional football career at Clydebank where remained until the clubs demise. After leaving Clydebank, he began playing for Glasgow side Pollok.
His spell at Pollok earned him a move to in 2002.
Seeking regular first team football, Keenan was loaned out to Second Division side during the January 2008 transfer window. He joined permanently in May 2008.
Season 2010-2011 proved to be very frustrating for Keenan. After suffering a serious cruciate knee ligament injury, he missed the entire season.
He was signed on again for season 2011-2012 to allow the tough tackling midfielder a chance to prove his fitness.
In October 2011, as he was due to have cartilage surgery, he was loaned out to Scottish Junior Football West Premier League side Kirkintilloch Rob Roy until January 2012. With his fitness still in doubt, he was released by in early 2012. After being released by Ayr, Keenan signed for Junior side where he has played some of the best football of his career.
After a mixed start, which included a controversial early red card in a Cup Final against Auchinleck Talbot, Keenan deserves enormous cr for recovering and securing his place as one of the top performers in Junior football by leading to back-to-back promotions and cementing their place in the West of Scotland Super League Premier Division.
Now Club Captain following the long-term injury and subsequent retiral of Dougie Ramsay, "Deano" is a huge fans favourite at Portland Park.
