Given his limited game time last camp Elding to the u21s is the right move.
No Finneran is disappointing but I don’t mind the u21’s playoff taking precedence.
Announcing our squad for the final two UEFA Nations League fixtures against Austria & Kosovo 🇮🇪
Head Coach Heimir Hallgrímsson has named a 24-man squad with captain Nathan Collins returning from injury 🙌
Sat 14th Nov | 🇦🇹 v 🇮🇪
Tue 17th Nov | 🇮🇪 v 🇽🇰
Limited tickets remaining for our final home game of 2026 👉 ticketmaster.ie/uefa-nations…

Recap of the window ⬇️
"Instead, Hallgrímsson unnecessarily introduced chaos into the game with these tactical changes and substitutions, losing control in midfield and asking Liam Kitching to be Liam Scales."

@ffrench1967 ✍️
Heimir has completely mismanaged that game.
Introduced so much risk bringing in Molumby and Kitching and lost all control in midfield moving Azaz up.
Ogbene on as a central striker made no sense too, especially with Owen Elding who is a brilliant hold up striker on the bench.
Great insight from @mid_5 into what we can expect from Austria tonight
We got the inside line from @OtherBundesliga ahead of tonight's game at the Aviva 🇮🇪🇦🇹

Can’t really argue with that squad.
Interesting to see Joel Bagan in with Will Ferry very unlucky to miss out.
Really would have liked to see Finneran Or Devaney fast tracked into the squad though
Dermot Desmond what a guy
🏴 Celtic's unpleasant streak continues as they've failed to survive 🔵 UCL qualifiers for SIXTH consecutive time:
❌ 2026: v 🇦🇹 LASK in 🔵 PO
❌ 2025: v 🇰🇿 Kairat in 🔵 PO
❌ 2021: v 🇩🇰 Midtjylland in 🔵 Q2
❌ 2020: v 🇭🇺 Ferencvaros in 🔵 Q2
❌ 2019: v 🇷🇴 CFR Cluj in 🔵 Q3
❌ 2018: v 🇬🇷 AEK Athens in 🔵 Q3
✅ 2017: beat 🇰🇿 Astana in 🔵 PO
Their last three 🔵 UCL participations came after qualifying directly (2022, 2023, 2024)

Going to be a real breakout year for Elding this season
8' | Hibs takes the early lead. This was not needed for Malisheva...
Hibernian🟢 [1]-0 🔵 Malisheva
⚽ Elding | Agg. 1-2
#UECL | #Malisheva | 🏴🇽🇰
Genuinely impressive how poor Scottish sides are in Europe every year given their budgets.
Balkani (who finished one point behind Hibs opponents last season) were beaten by 2-1 Bohemians last night and 4-1 by Shamrock Rovers last season.
🚨🇽🇰 KF MALISHEVA HAVE BEATEN HIBERNIAN!!!
Potentially the biggest result in the history of KF Malisheva as they beat Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
Edinburgh has a population of over 530,000 compared to the 44,000 on Kosovo where Malisheva are from!
This is why we love the European qualifiers!

Northern Ireland playing brilliantly tonight away in France (3-1 down currently).
Shea Charles and Isaac Price been standouts and combined for the goal.
Both first capped at 18 and 19, would like to see us do similar with Devaney and Finneran to solve midfield issue.
Don’t get why he wasn’t brought into senior camp teapaw.org/cccompsx/status/206339…
