Mick McCarthy has finalised his 23-man Ireland squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Gibraltar and Georgia later this month.

Ireland play away to Gibraltar on March 23rd and then at home to Georgia on March 26th.

Kieran O'Hara and Caoimhin Kelleher are the goalkeepers named in the 38-man provisional squad who have not been named in the 23-man group. Kelleher was yesterday included in Stephen Kenny's U21 squad.

Defenders, Cyrus Christie, Kevin Long, Jimmy Dunne, Derrick Williams and Stephen Ward; midfielders, Aiden McGeady, James McCarthy, David Meyler, Shaun Williams and Daryl Horgan; forwards, Scott Hogan, Aiden O'Brien and Padraig Amond are the others to be omitted.

Ronan Curtis and Alan Browne may yet be withdrawn from the squad. Portsmouth striker Curtis suffered a freak finger injury which has required surgery. Browne limped off after just 22 minutes of Preston's win against Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.
