Always committed to the Irish cause, James McClean will join a select club of seven tonight by winning his 100th cap.

Latest Ireland captain John Egan was happy to bequeath the armband to the Derryman known as ‘Jimmy’ who has not ruled out prolonging his career another three years to match 37-year-old Luca Modric.
