A sea of green in Prague Ryan Byrne/INPHO

Will you be sporting something old or something new for tonight’s Ireland match?

If there was ever a day to wear an Ireland jersey, this is it.

THE DAY THE nation has been waiting for since Troy Parrott’s hat-trick last November has finally arrived.

Ireland fans in Prague and at home have been gearing up for the country’s biggest football match of the decade – and there’s sure to be a sea of green in pubs and homes across the country.

Whether you have a jersey passed down through generations, one you picked up a few years ago that’s become your trusty go-to, or you’ve treated yourself to one of the new Ireland jerseys (which will set you back €105), it’ll be a night to remember.

And sure, no matter what you’re wearing, you can still have your fingers and toes crossed and a candle lit (even if it’s not a homemade ‘St Troy Parrott’ one).

So, we’re wondering:Will you be sporting something old or something new for tonight’s Ireland match?
