The wait is almost over for Ireland fans as life under Stephen Kenny gets underway tonight in Sofia.
The Boys in Green take on Biulgaria in a Nations League opener and the former Dundalk manager will get his first taste of action as senior manager.
Ireland come into the game full of confidence, and with Shane Duffy having completed a 'dream' Celtic move and a few under-21 starlets likely to be handed a senior debut, it's an exciting time to be a fan of Irish football.
