Wes Hoolahan starts for Ireland as Martin O’Neill makes two changes

There is a place on the bench for Aberdeen striker Adam Rooney.

Glenn Whelan and Wes Hoolahan have been drafted in by Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill for tonight's World Cup qualifier in Moldova.

Whelan replaces the suspended Jeff Hendrick in midfield while Hoolahan comes in for Robbie Brady, who was ruled out after suffering concussion during the 1-0 win over Georgia on Thursday.
