Shay starts for Ireland

Shay Given has been handed a 126th Republic of Ireland cap against Oman after coming out of international retirement.

The 38-year-old Aston Villa keeper starts in Ireland's final friendly before they launch their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in Georgia on Sunday, while there is also a place for Everton midfielder Darron Gibson for the first time since he suffered a cruciate ligament injury against Kazakhstan in October last year.
