Matt Healy is hoping he will have two reasons to celebrate on Friday night.

While the midfielder is focussing on helping the Republic of Ireland take another huge step towards qualifying for the U21 Euros when they take on Turkey on Friday, he is also hoping his former side Cork City get the win they need away to UCD to secure the First Division title, and a swift return to the Premier Division, later that evening.
