McCourt in Worthington's plans

Nigel Worthington insists the “door is still open” for Paddy McCourt to return to the Northern Ireland fold.

The talented Celtic midfielder has been left out of Worthington’s recent squads while a host of new faces have been drafted in, including youngsters Johnny Gorman of Wolves and Manchester United duo Corry Evans and Oliver Norwood, none of whom have played a competitive first-team game for their respective clubs.
