McClean: Treat Gibraltar like Germany

“We have got to treat it like the Germany game. I know that’s the old cliche, but there have been a lot of upsets in football over the years and we have got to make sure we are not one come Saturday.

James McClean has warned his Republic of Ireland team-mates not to allow themselves to be written into football folklore for the wrong reasons.

The Republic resume their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign against Gibraltar on Saturday looking to pile on the misery following the newcomers’ opening day 7-0 home defeat to Poland last month.
