INTERNATIONALS: WINGER SET FOR QUALIFIERS

Stuart Dallas earns Northern Ireland call-up for crucial fixtures...

Winger Stuart Dallas has been named in the Northern Ireland squad for their forthcoming UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers with the Faroe Islands and Hungary.

Michael O’Neill’s side travel to face the Faroe Islands on Friday September 4, before returning to home soil to take on Hungary at Windsor Park three days later.

Northern Ireland head into the crucial games occupying second place in Group F, one point behind leaders Romania and two points above Hungary, with just four games remaining.

A top-two finish would see them reach their first major finals since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Dallas has been capped five times for his country since making his debut against Wales back in May 2011.

The 24-year-old has been ever-present in the United side following his summer switch from Brentford, and he assisted Chris Wood’s equalising goal in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.
