Kerr reveals plans for 'B' link

Ireland manager Brian Kerr has revealed plans are afoot for his “B” team to face their Scottish counterparts regularly in the future.

The Irishman is looking forward to his first match in charge of the full national side against Berti Vogts’ improving team at Hampden Park tonight – even though the game has been overshadowed by the news Roy Keane has decided to retire from international football.
