Town pair Christophe Berra and Daryl Murphy were unused subs as Scotland beat Gibraltar 6-1 at Hampden Park and the Republic of Ireland drew 1-1 with Poland at the Aviva Stadium in Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Berra, who scored the Scots' winner in their 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland on Wednesday, remains on 29 caps and three goals, while Murphy is still on 14 Ireland appearances.

Loanee striker Chris Wood is the next senior player in international action when he skippers New Zealand in their friendly against South Korea in Seoul on Tuesday.

Academy schoolboy Andre Dozzell will also be in international action on the same day when England’s U16s face Mexico in their first game at the Montaigu Tournament in France.

The Town squad return to training after their four-day break on Monday ahead of Friday’s crucial home game against Bournemouth. Groupon are running a ticket promotion involving that match and the following two home games.

The Blues’ U21s make a rare appearance at Portman Road on Monday evening when they take on Coventry City (KO 7pm).

braveblue added 12:34 - Mar 30 Hilarious comments. Scotland level with Germany at half way stage but Town fans slagging them off as they have stayed loyal to the players who have got the results. Does MM not do the same!!
