Aviva Stadium set to host local derby clash tonight

Glenn Whelan will captain the Republic of Ireland tonight, on the occasion of his 85th and final international appearance.

Northern Ireland provide the opposition at the Aviva, and a chance for Martin O'Neill to road test his troops ahead of Monday's Nations League trip to Denmark.

The two teams have shown a united front in the build up to the match.

O'Neill is confident the North South rivalry won't boil over on the pitch.
