Troy Parrott is making his second start for Ireland, operating in support of main striker James Collins in this evening’s friendly against Andorra.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker has been marked out as the natural successor to Robbie Keane since his early teens but endured an underwhelming club season, struggling during loan spells at Millwall and Ipswich Town.
