KILLIAN Phillips is in line for his first Ireland start tomorrow night.

The Crystal Palace midfielder – who had an impressive season-long loan at St Mirren – won his first cap as a substitute against Senegal on Friday night.

And it appears as though the Dubliner will be rewarded for his display off the bench with a place in the starting XI against Luxembourg.

In a departure from the norm, Heimir Hallgrímsson allowed the media to stay for the entire eve-of-match training session.

Usually, journalists, photographers and camera operators are allowed in for only the first 15 minutes meaning all they see is the warm-up.

But he gave the green light for the media to stay for the full session and, as a result, saw a full 11 v 11 match after several drills.

And that gave an insight into the team Hallgrímsson is likely to pick for the final game of the season, mainly consisting of players wearing orange bibs.

If that is the case, it would mean four changes from the team which drew with Senegal with Phillips, Liam Scales, Evan Ferguson and Troy Parrott coming in for Ryan Manning, Dara O’Shea, Adam Idah and Jack Taylor.

The team in organe had Caoimhín Kelleher behind a back four of Matt Doherty, Nathan Collins, Scales and Robbie Brady. 

The orange team had a midfield four of Kasey McAteer, Bosun Lawal, John Joe Patrick Finn and Will Smallbone and a forward pairing of Ferguson and Parrott.

After a water break, Josh Honohan was subbed in for Brady – and immediately floored Festy Ebosele with a firm challenge – with Josh Keely coming in for Kelleher.

Max O’Leary was between the posts for the blue team with his back four comprising Jake O’Brien, Andrew Omobamidele, O’Shea and Manning.

The midfield quartet consisted of Ebosele, Phillips, Jason Knight and Andrew Moran with Taylor supporting Idah, as he did on Friday.

But it would seem a reach for Lawal and Finn to start.

Lawal was only added to the squad at the weekend and started just one game for Stoke City in an injury-hit season, at right-back, in their final league fixture.

As recently as Thursday, Hallgrímsson said Finn had ‘to grow a little bit more as a player to be starting for Ireland. He’s done well in training but we see he needs to improve in certain areas.”

Therefore, it seems likely that it will be the team in orange bibs – bar the central midfield pairing – which will take the field against Luc Holtz’s side.

Phillips, 23, is a classic late developer. Having been overlooked by League of Ireland academies, he was still playing in the DDSL with Kilbarrack United before being signed by Drogheda United in 2020.

He had to wait until the following season to make the breakthrough at first-team level but his form resulted in a move to Palace in January 2022.

He has yet to play for their first team but has gained considerable experience during loan spells with Shrewsbury Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Aberdeen and St Mirren.

Of the five uncapped squad members – O’Leary, Keeley, Honohan, Finn and Lawal – the Bristol City keeper and versatile Shamrock Rovers player look most likely to win their first cap off the bench.

IRELAND (probable): Kelleher (Brentford); Doherty (Wolves), Collins (Brentford), Scales (Celtic), Brady (Preston North End); McAteer (Leicester City), Phillips (Crystal Palace), Knight (Bristol City), Smallbone (Southampton); Parrott (AZ Alkmaar), Ferguson (Brighton).

MAX VERSTAPPEN has been sensationally tipped to QUIT Red Bull at the end of the season by a former team mechanic.

The Dutchman has won four drivers’ titles in a row and is hunting for a fifth this year – which would see him match a feat only achieved by Michael Schumacher in Formula One history.

However, Verstappen has fallen 49 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri amid huge performance struggles with the Red Bull machinery this season.

Verstappen has continued winning races despite the issues and even the power struggle which hit the team last year.

He has been linked with an exit from the Racing Bulls, with a team transfer to the likes of Mercedes or Aston Martin.

But ex-Red Bull mechanic Calum Nicholas believes Verstappen – who became a dad for the first time last month – could QUIT F1 entirely, if he wins a fifth World Drivers Championship.

Speaking on Lucas Stewart’s YouTube channel as he played a round of golf, Nicholas was asked how many titles Verstappen would win in his career.

He gave his answer before revealing what he thought lay ahead for the 27-year-old.

Nicolas said: “Five. I think Max is going to win the Drivers’ this year, and then I think he’s going to call it a day.”

Despite his answer, the mechanic insisted he didn’t “know anything” extra about Verstappen’s career plans.

Nicholas added: “To not back Max is just like lunacy, I think. The guy is just really really good.

“Not in terms of just his technical skill and his talent, but I’ve watched Max grow into this guy that can do everything.

“He does everything well now.”

Verstappen’s last race win this season came at the Imola Grand Prix on May 18.

He finished fourth at the Monaco Grand Prix a week later before inexplicably ramming his car into George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix.

That earned him a 10-second penalty – demoting him from P5 to P10 – and three penalty points on his licence to put him on the brink of a race ban.

Verstappen has 11 out of 12 points needed to earn a race ban across the 12-month rolling system for the penalty points.

He will need to be on his best behaviour at the Canadian and Austrian Grand Prix to avoid a ban in the following race before he sees two penalty points expire on June 30.

SunSport looked at five potential replacements for Verstappen if he is banned from competing for one weekend.

Names include impressive F1 rookie Isack Hadjar, Red Bull flop Liam Lawson and F2 prodigy Arvid Lindblad, who recently raced against Leeds United stars on the Elland Road pitch.

Apple TV+ continues to expand its library of classic dramedies, and the latest addition to the list is the Owen Wilson-starring show, Stick. The series revolves around the story of a washed-up pro golfer who is out seeking redemption. With only the first three episodes currently available, the show has already made an impression among […]
