Martin O’Neill names his 39 man Ireland squad

Seanie Maguire has received his first senior international call-up.

The Preston striker has been included in a 39-man provisional squad for next month’s crucial World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Serbia.

Maguire is the top scorer in this season’s SSE Airtricity League after his spell at Cork City before a recent move to Preston.

Also included are the uncapped duo of Matt Doherty and Liam Kelly, while Maguire’s teammate Greg Cunningham has also been recalled.

Cunningham made four Irish appearances back in 2013.

There are also recalls for the likes of Ciaran Clark, James McCarthy, David Meyler, Shane Long and Kevin Doyle, who all missed the games against the summer internationals.

Ireland travel to Georgia for Group D meeting on Saturday 2nd September, before they welcome group leaders Serbia to the Aviva three days later.
