Robbie Keane joined Liverpool for a GBP 20.3 million transfer from Tottenham this summer, but after three Premier League and two Champions League appearances he is yet to score for the Reds.

The Ireland international will head into his country's opening World Cup qualifier against Georgia struggling to score goals. However the striker does not believe it will affect his performance for Ireland.

"As I have said before many times, I never worry about not scoring goals.

"I scored my last one for Ireland; I am with Ireland now, so as long as I do the business for Ireland tonight, that's the most important thing at this present time," he said.

Ireland's experienced Italian coach Giovanni Trapattoni has led the team to three victories out of three and Keane is excited about what the team can achieve.

"The spirit in the camp has always been great, but it always helps when you are doing well and you are winning games.

"When you are winning or you are not losing, it gives players confidence and makes the team spirit even better, and you have seen that in the last few games.

"Everyone is excited now. The whole country is buzzing now and looking forward to the campaign starting, and the players alike are really looking forward to this campaign," said the Anfield striker.
