FIRST CAP ISN'T FAR AWAY

MAX O'LEARY is hoping to finally break his international duck this week - six years after first being called up by Ireland.

The Bristol City goalkeeper has been knocking on the Ireland door since May 2019 when Mick McCarthy brought him in as cover for Mark Travers.

But since then there have been two managerial changes - plus an interim boss - but still no first cap for the English-born keeper who qualifies for Ireland via his Kerry-born grandfather.

O'Leary, 28, said: "I've been around a while now and seen a few managers. Hopefully, I'll get my opportunity soon.
