Midfielder Owen Garvan will be looking to win his sixth Republic of Ireland U21 cap this evening when his side take on Portugal in Madeira in their final European Championships qualifier. The Irish youngsters are no longer in with a chance of qualification.

Town have three other players away with senior international squads ahead of matches on Wednesday. Alex Bruce will be hoping to add to his single cap when the Republic of Ireland full side travel to face Montenegro in their second World Cup qualifier.

Gareth McAuley, currently on 11 caps, will want to return to Nigel Worthington's side when Northern Ireland take on the Czech Republic at Windsor Park, while Veliche Shumulikoski's Macedonia will be looking to continue their good start to their World Cup campaign when Holland visit Skopje.
