Middlesborough finished 11th in the Coca-Cola Championship this season after relegation the previous season from the English Premier League.

Gordon Strachan is set to bring a full-strength Middlesborough squad to Dublin, which could include New Zealand World Cup star Chris Killen and Dubliner Willo Flood.

Assistant manager of Middlesborough Gary McAllister will make a return to Tolka Park, having previously brought his Leeds United side to face Shels.
