Mick McCarthy has named his provisional Ireland squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers.

The games away to Gibraltar on March 23rd and at home to Georgia on March 26th will be the first of McCarthy's second spell in charge of Ireland.

Among the notable names included in the squad are Newport County's Carlow man Padraig Amond, Luton Town's 20-goal striker James Collins and Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers. All three have received their first senior Ireland call-ups.

Both Travers and Caoimhin Kelleher will also be part of Stephen Kenny's Under-21 squad for their qualifier against Luxembourg on March 24th. McCarthy may then draft them back into his squad for the game against Georgia.
