Like every manager who has ever gone before him, Martin O’Neill is well aware that these are the good times.

“I’m just looking to impress the two new managers because everything changes and you want to get into their team.”

“It was tremendous, a bit of a fairytale.”

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill has warned his players that the clash against Latvia does not take on less significance because it is a friendly.
