Mick McCarthy looks to boost striking options with Luton's James Collins

Mick McCarthy is looking in on League One for a possible solution to Ireland's goalscoring problems, with in-form Luton Town striker James Collins emerging as a potential call-up for next month's European Championship qualifiers against Gibraltar and Georgia.

McCarthy sent Robbie Keane to run the rule over Collins against Wycombe last weekend and the 28-year-old did not disappoint as he scored his 19th goal of the season in a 3-0 win.
