McGoldrick Could Be Added to Ireland Squad - Ipswich Town News
Town striker David McGoldrick could be added to the Republic of Ireland squad for next month’s games against Scotland and the USA, manager Martin O’Neill has revealed.
Yesterday, Blues frontmen Daryl Murphy and Conor Sammon were named in a provisional 36-man squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland at Celtic Park on Friday 14th November and a friendly with the USA at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin four days later.
The paperwork relating to McGoldrick’s qualification is close to being completed and Derby’s Cyrus Christie is in a similar position.
"It does seem to take an eternity to sort out but I don’t think there’s any real serious issues outstanding so there is the possibility of those two being available,” O’Neill said.
"I’ve watched David a few times and seen an awful lot of Cyrus, who has been doing exceptionally well.”
Nottingham-born McGoldrick announced in February that he was keen to play for Ireland, having confirmed he qualifies via both his adoptive and biological parents.
