Keane set for playmaker's role for Czech Republic friendly

James McClean and Shane Duffy were named among the substitutes as Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni relied on his old heads for this evening’s friendly against the Czech Republic.

Darren O’Dea partnered Sean St Ledger in the heart of the defence with Richard Dunne injured, and Shane Long started in attack with skipper Robbie Keane lining up just behind him.
