ROSS Wallace has vowed to keep his clothes on in future after an unhappy Roy Keane got shirty with the Sunderland midfielder despite him scoring a stoppage-time winner against Hull, writes Scott Wilson.

Wallace, already booked for dissent, was sent off after he celebrated his 92nd-minute winner at the KC Stadium by taking his top off in front of Sunderland's jubilant travelling fans.

The resultant two-match suspension rules him out of tomorrow night's game with Championship leaders Cardiff and Saturday's trip to Norwich, and the Scotsman is likely to be fined a week's wages when he meets his manager this morning.

It is not the first time Wallace has fallen foul of football's over-celebration laws as he was also booked for removing his shirt after scoring Sunderland's winner in September's 2-1 success at Derby.

And after Keane admitted he had little sympathy for the 21-year-old's plight, Wallace promised to put an end to his topless celebrations.

"I'm going to have to staple my shirt on in the future because that's twice that it's happened now," said the former Celtic midfielder, whose dramatic late strike briefly took the Black Cats to 13th in the Championship table, their highest league position of the season.

"The lads have told me that I'm like a little kid. As soon as I see the fans going mental, I just don't seem to be able to help myself.

"It's a massive three points for us and the emotion was greater because the goal came so late. When you se the fans jumping about, you just want to get in amongst it. But I know I can't be doing that again in the future.

"The manager isn't too happy. I want to get a run in the team because it's been a bit stop-start so far, and this obviously isn't going to help. Unfortunately, instead of playing games, it's going to be an unwanted holiday again."

Wallace's winner came at the end of a game in which Sunderland had passed up countless opportunities. Ultimately, though, Sunderland's new-found resilience came shining through.

"We've done that two games in a row now and I suppose it must be a sign of something," said Wallace.

"We keep going. Roy had that at Manchester United - they had a never-say-die attitude that enabled them to win games right at the end."
