Hallgrimsson was forced to defend his position in an awkward exchange on the Late Late Show last night.
Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has named two League of Ireland players in his provisional squad for this month's games with Bulgaria, backtracking on his previous statements about the league.
Hallgrimsson also said: “We have two players from Shamrock Rovers in our preliminary squad for the upcoming Bulgaria games so I would be contradicting myself by saying you have to be somewhere else.” These comments greatly angered Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley, who has criticised Hallgrimsson repeatedly for his choice of words.
