Gillespie not on scrap-heap

Winger Keith Gillespie was today included in the Northern Ireland squad for the Euro 2008 qualifier against Sweden.

The 32-year-old, who was fined after a confrontation with team-mate George McCartney on the plane as they returned from last month’s defeat in Iceland, was named in a 19-man party despite missing his club’s weekend clash at Bristol City with a hamstring injury.
