SHANE DUFFY, HARRY Arter and David McGoldrick are among the fringe players that have been given a chance for Ireland, as they prepare to face the Netherlands at the Aviva Stadium in a Euro 2016 warm-up tonight.
The trio will be looking to impress, as will Stephen Quinn — another player who has been on the periphery of the squad of late.

Elsewhere, there are some more experienced stars included, with Darren Randolph, Seamus Coleman, John O’Shea and Jon Walters among the players virtually assured of a place on the plane to France.
Meanwhile, Dundalk goalkeeper Gary Rogers could become the first League of Ireland player to represent Ireland since Joe Gamble in 2007.
The 34-year-old is on the bench for tonight’s friendly, after impressing in training during the week, as is 21-year-old Oxford winger Callum O’Dowda, who could also win his first cap.
Holland subs: Jeroen Zoet, Kenneth Vermeer, Kenny Tete, Ron Vlaar, Patrick Van Aanholt, Marco Van Ginkel, Luciano Narsingh, Tonny Vilhena, Luuk De Jong, Bas Dost, Steven Berghuis.
