90+2: Full-time at Croke Park.

88: Stephen Hunt makes way for Keogh for the final few moments.

87: Duff finds himself in the area and pulls back for Keane who fails to control as he ran onto the ball and the chance goes begging.

80: Play resumes after a brief delay for the injuries.

79: Miller's free-kick delivery is well caught by Poleksic but he injures his team-mate Jovanovic and Dunne in the process. Both should be ok to continue.

54: Hunt's cross is blocked but Ireland have a throw-in deep in the opposition's territory.

53: St. Ledger's ambitious ball over the top almost finds his target in Keane but Batak nods the ball off it's path.

52: Miller intercepts a pull back with Montenegro players cueing up to pull the trigger, a vital tackle.

Tommy O'Callaghan thinks Ireland should grab a win tonight but thinks Doyle may have to be brought on to do so.

Jack Collins is still hopeful Ireland can sneak a 1-0 win with their depleted squad.

It's been a dire first-half with just two chances of note. A header at either end first from Montenegro's Boskovic, who really should have scored, before Dunne hit the bar for the home nation. Both sides have been forced into a change through injury but expect to see a few more subs in the second-half if either side are to spring this game into life.
