Sinclair Armstrong has been promoted to the Ireland squad which Heimir Hallgrímsson unveils on Thursday lunchtime for the upcoming Nations League playoff against Bulgaria.

Armstrong (21) made a surprise debut for the senior squad against Netherlands in 2023 towards the end of Stephen Kenny’s era but his switch from QPR to Bristol City has eventually regained him a spot in the panel.
