DEFENDER Colin Murdock's impressive displays on the pitch have led to a call-up to the Northern Ireland team.

It is the central back man's second call-up to the squad, but with new a new boss at the helm, Murdock is hoping to crack it this time.

The away day at Luxembourg won't mean him missing any games, but he said: "Hopefully, I will get a cap this time.

"The new boss is looking at everyone who is available but hopefully I can get into the team.

"He make think younger players are the way forward, and I will try my best to prove him right."
