New Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson will on Thursday name his squad for the September Nations League games against England and Greece.
Will Keane says his confidence is high after scoring his first goal of the season in Preston’s 1-0 win over Luton Town .
Keane didn’t feature in any of interim manager John O’Shea’s squads this year, so it was a timely goal, with now-assistant boss O’Shea set to have a big influence in the selection.READ MORE: Former Ireland manager fears one factor will go against his chance of a return to dugout He has yet to score in five appearances for Ireland, but at club level he feels he is up and running, with his goal securing a first win of the campaign for the Lilywhites.“We were well organised and it was great to get that goal to give us a bit of a cushion in there and I think we did well to see the game out.”
“I just made sure then to get into the box and I was really pleased that he managed to pick me out. The ball sat up a little bit but thankfully I managed to get a good strike off.
