Darron Gibson



Gibson first represented the Republic of Ireland at under-17 level. Then during the 2005-06 season he captained both the Republic of Ireland under-19 [16] and under-21 squads [17]. On 14 November 2006, he also played for Republic of Ireland B in a 0-0 draw against Scotland B.[18] In 2007, Gibson was included in several senior Republic of Ireland squads for Euro 2008 qualifiers,[19] before he eventually made his debut in a 4-0 win against Denmark. During the away friendly, he came on as half-time substitute, replacing Andy Reid. In the 54th minute, Gibson fired a shot from outside the penalty area that the Danish keeper, Jesper Christiansen, could only palm away, allowing Shane Long to follow up and score the Republic's third goal.[20] Gibson won his second full cap on 8 September 2007 in an away game against Slovakia. The Euro 2008 qualifier, which finished as a 2-2 draw, saw him again used as substitute, this time replacing Aiden McGeady after 61 minutes.[21][22]
