Keogh 'disappointed' at Republic omission

Richard Keogh has admitted his disappointment at his omission from the Republic of Ireland squad for the crucial World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Austria.

The 27-year-old Derby defender marked his first start for Ireland with a goal in the 4-0 friendly demolition of Georgia in June, but did not even make Giovanni Trapattoni’s provisional squad for Friday night’s clash with the Swedes and Tuesday’s trip to Vienna.
