James McCarthy Set To Start For Rep of Ireland

Latics midfield man James McCarthy will make his first start for the Republic of Ireland in a competitive match after being named in the side to face Kazakhstan in tomorrows (Friday) World Cup qualifier in Astana

Irish boss Trapattonni will be hoping for a good show following a very disappointing summer when his side failed badly in the European Championship finals, he has brought in McCarthy and hopefully the Latics youngster can have a big game and get the Republic off to a good start

With Germany next up on Tuesday this could be a baptism of fire for young Macca
