Sheffield Wednesday move boosts Aiden McGeady’s Euro 2016 prospects

Aiden McGeady has breathed fresh life into his hopes of making Martin O’Neill’s Euro 2016 squad by signing a loan deal with Sheffield Wednesday until the end of the season.

Frozen out at Everton where he has made only one appearance this season, the winger trained yesterday with his new club and is available for tonight’s Championship game against Burnley.

The Owls , currently one point off the promotion play-off places, reportedly beat off interest from fellow Championship sides Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United to land their man. There had also been stories linking the Glaswegian with a possible move to Sevilla.
