Pogues fan Bilic sees three-way fight for second spot

SLAVEN BILIC will put his love affair with the Pogues on hold after drawing the Republic of Ireland in next summer’s European Championship finals.

The Croatia boss revealed in August he had prepared for his team’s Dublin friendly by attending a Shane McGowan gig in Zagreb.

This time around the former West Ham defender will take his preparations for the game in Poznan next June more seriously.
