Leeds United and Irish legend John Giles is eager to see Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish capped by the Republic of Ireland.

Giles last night told Ireland boss Martin O'Neill to pick Grealish for both the friendly against England and then the Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland.

He said: "Martin O'Neill said young Grealish wasn't ready for the Scotland game because of the importance of the fixture.

"But he proved at Wembley last week that he is more than capable of coping with the big stage. I'd pick him, no question."
