DORUS DE VRIES
Unfortunately a goalkeeper is the player most vulnerable to attack in a game like this and Craig Gordon can’t be risked.
The Dutchman is Gordon’s deputy and on this occasion he needs to be called in for what should be a quiet evening on the pitch.
De Vries has been on the bench for the last nine months, 90 minutes at Windsor Park should sharpen his reflexes if he is required for more meaningful action in the near future.
