REPUBLIC OF IRELAND boss Stephen Kenny is targeting his best victory yet as he prepares for a must-win Euro 2024 qualifier against Holland tonight.
The game in Dublin appears to be a make-or break affair for Ireland, who have collected just three points from their first four Group B fixtures – and will effectively be out of the race for qualification if they lose to the Dutch.
Memories of a famous Irish victory over Holland in a World Cup qualifier in 2001 have inevitably come to the fore in recent days.
But Kenny (right) is reluctant to compare his team to the one which Shay Given, Roy Keane and Damien Duff played in.
The Ireland boss was a spectator at Lansdowne Road almost 22 years to the day when the 10-man Republic shocked the visitors.
