Gibraltar vs. Republic of Ireland: Keane counting on McCarthy and Walters

With qualification for Euro 2016 in the balance, the Republic of Ireland will seek to bolster their hopes against bottom side Gibraltar.

Roy Keane expects both James McCarthy and Jon Walters to feature for the Republic of Ireland in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Group D rivals Gibraltar.

Ireland trail third-placed Scotland by two points going into the final four games, but will be heavy favourites to claim victory this week and keep their hopes of a top-three finish alive.

Catching Germany or Poland seems a tall order, but Keane is confident both McCarthy and Walters can feature as the visitors seek a similar showing to the 7-0 win in the reverse fixture back in October.
