Injury doubts Shane Long and John O’Shea have been left out of the Irish team for tonight.

It’s make or break time as Ireland take on Bosnia-Herzegovina to decide who will make it to Euro 2016.

Ciaran Clark is not allowing himself to dream of a trip to the Euro 2016 finals just yet as he concentrates on the task of keeping Edin Dzeko at bay.

1. Retaining possession is key.

A minute’s silence will be observed before Ireland’s decisive Euro 2016 play-off against Bosnia.

“If there’s any chance of getting him on the pitch, Martin O’Neill will put him out there.”

Asmir Begovic is convinced that the play-off remains on a knife edge.

“Bosnia are capable of scoring, they could wipe that advantage that we have within minutes.”

Since he was dazzling defenders before his teens with St Kevin’s Boys, Robbie Brady was being primed for stages like last night and his contribution may leave a legacy beyond his time in an Irish jersey, writes John Fallon.

Martin O’Neill has promised to go on the offensive as he attempts to guide the Republic of Ireland past Bosnia-Herzegovina and into the Euro 2016 finals.

Martin O’Neill emerged out of the fog in Zenica last night with mixed feelings about what he had seen — and not seen.

Bosnia & Herzegovina 1 Republic of Ireland 1: After the fog of Zenica, we’re guaranteed clarity in Dublin on Monday night, with this European Championship play-off against Bosnia still finely poised.

Warmth of reception at Holiday Inn makes up for lack of heating in a hotel that used to be regularly hit by shells and peppered with bullets throughout the bloody three-year siege of Sarajevo, writes Liam Mackey.

Martin O’Neill and his players didn’t hide their delight at the earning a 1-1 draw in Zenica.

"But we are still in the tie, that's the most important thing."

Ireland face off against Bosnia in the first leg of their European Championship play-offs tonight in Zenica.

The coaches for the Republic of Ireland team will have to think about playing midfielder Wes Hoolahan for the whole 180 minutes of their Euro 2016 play-offs against Bosnia.

Irish absentees in defence, midfield and up front tip the balance the way of the Bosnians in Zenica tonight, particularly when you factor in Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic, two players better than anyone in our team, writes Liam Brady

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O’Neill is determined to join namesake Michael at the Euro 2016 finals as he plots a way past Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill says that Edin Dzeko is a very important player for Bosnia, but he is not their only threat to Ireland’s Euro 2016 qualifying hopes.

Bosnia has been here before, and so has Miralem Pjanic.

As Ireland’s selection problems mounted last night, skipper Robbie Keane emphasised that traditional traits can still overcome the technical nous of Bosnia-Herzegovina to book him an international swansong in France next year.

O’Neill has urged Ireland not to throw away the chance to book their place at the Euro 2016 finals.
