Scott Law is accused of assaulting retired midfielder Keane, who played for Celtic in the 2005/2006 season.
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards denied being Roy Keane 's "puppy" and "stooge" as he gave evidence in the trial of a man accused of headbutting his punditry partner.
The ex-England international told Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Friday morning that he "grappled" with Law following the alleged incident. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Discussing the aftermath of the incident, Mr Richards said: "I grappled with the gentleman for a while. I believe I was saying to him: 'What have you done that for?' "I was in disbelief, like had that really happened?" Discussing the moments before the alleged incident, Mr Richards said he "saw a gentleman running towards Roy".
Mr Richards, who smiled as he entered the court, replied: "Strongly disagree." The former Fiorentina player told Mr Sherrard: "You tried to mix my words a lot today, but I know what I saw." Asked about this description of his colleague, Mr Richards replied: "I know him a bit differently but that's how he can be perceived."
Law said he went inside the stadium to go to the toilet and encountered Mr Keane who "collided into him". Prosecutor Simon Jones KC asked Law: "Are you seriously saying that Roy Keane ran into the top of your head?" Asked about the apparent differences in this statement, Law replied: "I'd had no sleep - I was guilty by media. It was the worst night of my life."
