Martin O'Neill backs Robbie Brady to shine following Keane retirement

"Do I think Robbie Brady can score goals from midfield? Yes."

Martin O'Neill is confident emerging Republic of Ireland star Robbie Brady can help to fill the yawning chasm left by Robbie Keane's retirement from international football.

The 24-year-old Norwich midfielder, who has operated as an emergency full-back for his country at times, scored Ireland's Euro 2016 winner against Italy which booked their place in the last 16, and then shocked hosts France with a nerveless early penalty.
