Damien Duff wants Aiden McGeady to shrug off poor season and light up Euros

Damien Duff wants Aiden McGeady to shrug off a disappointing season at club level and light up the European Championships.

The Everton winger has endured a nightmare 12 months, dropping out of favour with the Toffees and Ireland, before going on loan to Sheffield Wednesday where he played no part in their Championship play-off final defeat to Hull City.

The ex-Celtic star moved to Sheffield to keep his Euro hopes alive, and he was included in Martin O’Neill’s final 23-man squad despite barely playing, and failing to impress against Belarus on Tuesday night.
