Ward: I’ll have no qualms if Trap puts Kilbane first

STEPHEN WARD says he will have “no qualms” if Giovanni Trapattoni decides to pick veteran defender Kevin Kilbane over him in the two crucial remaining Euro 2012 qualifiers.

Dubliner Ward has been waiting patiently for an opportunity to represent his country and finally got the nod for his first start in May and has since accumulated six senior caps but the Wolves defender will understand if the manager prefers the experienced Derby County full-back.

“I will have no qualms if he is playing,” said the Portmarnock native about Kilbane.
