Hello, and welcome to tonight’s liveblog.
Ireland will be hoping to build on last week’s win over Hungary and boost John O’Shea’s chances of being made permanent manager in the process.
It won’t be easy, however.
They face a Portugal side who are one of the favourites for the Euros and ranked sixth in the world, 54 places above Ireland.
