Murphy and McGoldrick in Ireland Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town duo Daryl Murphy and David McGoldrick have been named in a provisional 40-man Republic of Ireland squad for their final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Germany and Poland next month.

Ireland, who are now third in their group and in with a real chance of automatic qualification, face the top-of-the-table Germans in Dublin on Thursday 8th October and second-placed Poland - the gap is two points - in Warsaw three days later.

The Town pair were both forced out of the games against Gibraltar and Georgia earlier this month but Murphy is now over his calf problem and McGoldrick his groin injury.

Murphy has previously won 16 full caps and McGoldrick two and both are still looking for their first international goal.

Ireland boss Martin O'Neill was at last week's 5-1 drubbing at Reading, having previously attended the 2-1 home victory over Sheffield Wednesday. His assistant, ex-Town boss Roy Keane, was at the 2-1 win at Preston.

Republic of Ireland: Shay Given, David Forde, Darren Randolph, Keiren Westwood, Rob Elliot, Richard Keogh, Seamus Coleman, Marc Wilson, Cyrus Christie, John O'Shea, Alex Pearce, Ciaran Clark, Shane Duffy, Paul McShane, Stephen Ward, Greg Cunningham, Robbie Brady, James McCarthy, Darron Gibson, Jeff Hendrick, Harry Arter, Eunan O'Kane, Glenn Whelan, Paul Green, Aiden McGeady, James McClean, Alan Judge, Anthony Pilkington, Stephen Quinn, Wes Hoolahan, David Meyler, Jonathan Walters, Robbie Keane, Shane Long, Daryl Murphy, Kevin Doyle, Anthony Stokes, David McGoldrick, Adam Rooney, Simon Cox.
