International News:SHANE SUPPLE of Ipswich Town and Bristol City's Stephen Henderson have been called in to the Republic of Ireland under-21 squad for next Tuesday's game against Montenegro following the withdrawal due to injury of Derry's Darren Quigley and Darren Randolph of Charlton Athletic.

Don Givens had previously promoted Seán Scannell of Crystal Palace to the squad after losing Blackburn's Keith Treacy for the European Championship qualifier which takes place at Terryland Park.

Ireland's new assistant manager, Liam Brady, will attend the game prior to heading for Belfast for Northern Ireland's friendly meeting with the Republic's World Cup group rivals Georgia.

Marco Tardelli, meanwhile, is scheduled to travel to Sofia for the game between the group's second seeds - Bulgaria - and Finland.
