Stephen Ward: We need a big night against Serbia

Stephen Ward has challenged the Republic of Ireland to call upon the spirit of their shock victory over Germany to re-ignite their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Martin O'Neill's men face Group D leaders Serbia at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday night having allowed them to ease two points clear as a result of the Republic's 1-1 draw in Georgia and the Serbs' 3-0 win over Moldova on Saturday.
