Evan Ferguson leads the line.

LIAM SCALES HAS been handed his first senior international start against Greece in tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Dublin.

Gavin Bazunu continues in goal, with Nathan Collins and Shane Duffy starting among the defenders. Matt Doherty starts too, though it’s unclear whether Stephen Kenny has switched to a back four from the traditional back three set-up. Advertisement If it’s a back four, then Doherty will likely be at right-back and Scales at left-back. If it’s a back three, then Doherty may be at left wing-back with Alan Browne slotting into right wing-back and Scales to the left of Ireland’s back three.

If a back four, Browne will play in midfield, along with Josh Cullen and Jason Knight. Evan Ferguson will lead the line regardless of the system played, with Chiedozie Ogbene and Will Smallbone in support.Evan Ferguson starts up front with Will Smallbone in midfield just behind him 🇮🇪𝗕𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱, 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 💚 pic.twitter.
