Phil Egan is back with Thursday’s Football Daily, as Ireland return to Nations League action against Austria at the Aviva Stadium — with protests planned and Heimir Hallgrímsson urging fans to get behind the players.

We hear from the Ireland boss on media reporting around the Israel games, while Conan Byrne joins Off The Ball Breakfast and says the players still have an opportunity to make a stand.

Plus, team news for tonight, a look at Austria’s threats, and where to hear live commentary on Newstalk. There’s also the latest on Manchester City’s sponsorship breach story, and League of Ireland chat ahead of Dundalk v Bohs.
