Ian Harte back in Ireland picture

Ian Harte has finally been handed an international reprieve despite a bust-up earlier in the season with Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr.

Although not included in a 22-man squad for the Jackie McNamara testimonial with Celtic at Parkhead on May 29 – due to club commitments with Primera Liga side Levante – Harte is to link up with the party two days later ahead of the World Cup qualifiers against Israel and the Faroe Islands.
