Would Robbie Keane start? Did Wes Hoolahan do enough against Gibraltar?It's all we've been able to think about since Saturday and now we know.
Keane starts, Hoolahan doesn't and Gibson, somewhat surprisingly, misses out. There's also no place for Shane Long who has lost out to Jonathan Walters.
Ireland starting XI:
Starting XI for tonight: Forde, Meyler, O'Shea, Wilson, Ward, McGeady, Whelan, Quinn, McClean, Keane, Walters #GerIrl #COYBIG

Jogi Loew has seen injuries narrow his options for the game in Gelsenkirchen. Cristoph Kramer joined a lengthy list of absentees which includes Bastian Schweinsteiger, Marco Reus and Mesut Ozil. Matthias Ginter is the man to replace Kramer in the centre of midfield. Germany starting XI:
Here's our line-up vs. @FAIreland: Neuer (C) - Rüdiger, Hummels, Boateng, Durm - Ginter, Kroos - Bellarabi, Götze, Draxler - Müller #GERIRL
