MARTIN O’NEILL HAS named the Ireland side to play against Serbia in tonight’s friendly at the Aviva Stadium.

Derby defender Richard Keogh has been handed a start, while Glenn Whelan captains the side as he makes his 54th appearance at international level.

Elsewhere, there are few surprises, as Shane Long is ostensibly selected to play as the lone frontman, with Norwich’s Wes Hoolahan operating in the number 10 role just behind him.

Ireland team to face Serbia: Forde, Coleman, Keogh, Wilson, Ward, McGeady, McCarthy, Whelan, Hoolahan, McClean, Long. Subs: Randolph, Kelly, O’Shea, Pearce, Clark, Walters, Green, Quinn, Meyler, Pilkington, Daryl Murphy, Cox, Stokes, Brian Murphy.
Serbia team: Stojkovic, Rukavina, Bisevac, Ivanovic, Dordevic, Tadic, Kolarov, Matic, Fejsa, Basta, Markovic. Subs: Brkic, Gudelj, Tomvic, Tosic, Petrovic, Ljajic, Sulejmani, Scepovic, Krsticic.

What do you make of tonight’s team?
