Town frontman Billy Clarke played the full 90 minutes as the Irish U21 side completed their Intercontinental Cup group games with a disappointing 0-0 draw with Iraq in Malaysia.

However, Ireland will be in the semi-finals of the tournament as long as Iraq fail to beat Nigeria by a two-goal margin on Wednesday.

Clarke, transfer-listed by the Blues last week, was making his 10th appearance for the U21s.
