Ireland know the score for Albania

IRELAND’s players will today receive a first-hand account of Albania’s surprise weekend win over Russia in Euro Group 10 from former Scotland international Joe Jordan.

The former striker was recruited because of his relationship with goalkeeping coach Packie Bonner.

Said assistant manage Chris Hughton: "Brian has spoken to Joe Jordan a couple of times since Albania's match against Russia and we are waiting for his report to be faxed to us. Joe has spoken about the formation and the way they played.
