Parrott Wins Cap in Ireland Defeat - Ipswich Town News
Blues loan striker Troy Parrott won his third full Republic of Ireland cap as a late sub as Stephen Kenny’s side fell to an embarrassing 1-0 defeat to Luxembourg in a World Cup qualifier in Dublin last night.
Parrott, 19, was an 88th-minute sub, taking to the field three minutes after Gerson Rodrigues had netted the winner for the minnows.
Ireland face Qatar in a friendly in Hungary on Tuesday with Parrott, who is on loan with the Blues until the end of the season from Tottenham, likely to play a more significant role.
