Given: 'Refreshing' Parrott and Obafemi can be Ireland's future

Shay Given says Ireland fans are right to dream of what Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi can achieve as an international partnership after a devastating performance against Scotland.

The Boys in Green got their Nations League campaign back on track with an emphatic 3-0 home win, with both strikers on the scoresheet in an impressive showing from Stephen Kenny's side.

The Swansea striker marked his first international start and just fourth cap with an outstanding assist for Parrott in the first half, before the favour was returned after the break when Obafemi swivelled and smashed an incredible shot straight through the Scottish keeper Craig Gordon from about 25 yards, the ball swerving dramatically before crashing into the back of the net.
