U-21s could secure a place at next year's European Championship with a win tonight

SOCCER

A place at next year's European Championships is on offer for the Republic of Ireland under-21s tonight.

Their play-off tie with Israel is level at a goal apiece heading into the second leg in Tel Aviv.

Striker Evan Ferguson is an injury doubt for the visitors, with last week's goal-scorer nursing an ankle problem.

Kick off is at 6.15pm.

Kick-off is at 6pm.

Shamrock Rovers hold a five-point lead at the top of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division this morning.

Neil Farrugia’s first-half strike was enough to give the Hoops a 1-0 win at home to second-from-bottom UCD last night.

Shamrock Rovers make the trip to Sligo Rovers this Saturday.

England manager Gareth Southgate says he has to back his "best and most experienced players" after a few high-profile errors in their 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope's drop allowed the visitors to equalise - while Harry Maguire gave away a penalty at Wembley.

Maguire's lack of game time for Manchester United was an issue before the international break.

But Southgate's supporting him:
