Andrews ready for Spanish showdown

Keith Andrews insists he will not lose any sleep over the prospect of rubbing shoulders with Spain’s superstars.

The Republic head into Thursday night’s Group C showdown with the reigning world and European champions knowing defeat would end their Euro 2012 campaign with a game still to play.

Indeed, even a draw could end their hopes if the result of the Croatia v Italy match goes against them after last night’s 3-1 defeat by Slaven Bilic’s men in Poznan.
