Coleman hopes luck has finally changed

It’s been quite the few weeks for Seamus Coleman what with Donegal winning the All-Ireland, his old pals at Sligo Rovers about to wrap up the Airtricity League and Everton enjoying their best opening to a league campaign since, well, forever.

Not just that but an Everton side in which the man from Killybegs is featuring regularly at his favoured position of right-back and, with Ireland in the midst of an injury crisis, that puts him squarely in the frame for a role against Germany in Dublin on Friday night.

Three points and a run-out at the Aviva and he may as well do the Lotto too.
