Midfielder Keith Andrews has been confirmed as a starter for the Republic of Ireland when they face Estonia in the second leg of their Euro 2012 play-off in Dublin on Tuesday (Sky Sports One/HD1 7pm). Andrews, who is on loan from Blackburn until January, scored the opening goal in his side’s 4-0 victory in the first leg in Tallinn on Friday.

The 31-year-old will win his 26th cap and will be looking to add to his three full international goals.

Ex-Blues skipper Jon Walters, who scored his first Ireland goal on his first start on Friday, has dropped out of the starting line-up in favour of Wolves frontman Kevin Doyle.

Giovanni Trapattoni has made two other changes, leaving out Spartak Moscow winger Aiden McGeady and Fulham full-back Stephen Kelly and recalling Stephen Hunt, also of Wolves, and Sunderland's John O'Shea.

Republic of Ireland: Shay Given, John O'Shea, Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger, Stephen Ward; Damien Duff, Glenn Whelan, Keith Andrews, Stephen Hunt; Kevin Doyle, Robbie Keane.
