Ireland's matchday squad for Monday night's crucial Euro 2020 qualifier against Denmark has been announced.

Jack Byrne and Troy Parrott, both of whom played in last week's win against New Zealand, have been included.

Callum O'Dowda and Scott Hogan are the two to miss out.

Shane Duffy will tonight captain the team for the first time.

A victory for Ireland will see Mick McCarthy's side qualify for next summer's Euro 2020 finals.

However, if they do not beat Denmark tonight, Ireland can still qualify for the finals via the playoffs which take place at the end of March. A spot in the playoffs was secured over the weekend.
