Paul McGrath offers James McClean important advice on how to be a success at the Euros

Listen to the man, James

Kevin McGillicuddy

Simple stuff when you think about it.

James McClean is certain to be a part of Ireland’s Euro 2016 squad when it is announced next Tuesday.

The Derry man flew around the pitch again on Friday night as Ireland earned a 1-1 draw with Netherlands at the Aviva.

The West Brom player has been used as an auxiliary front-man by Martin O’Neill in some games, and his pace, as well as aggression, is a serious addition to Ireland’s attacking options next month in France.

The former Sunderland player does often have brain fart moments too, but Paul McGrath feels he can be a star for us next month.

The former Ireland centre-half was in the crowd to see Ireland just miss out on beating the Dutch, and afterwards, McClean stopped the ex-Manchester United man for a selfie.

Taking to his own twitter, McGrath has just a few words of simple, but worldly advice for the 27-year-old.

Look how happy McClean is to get a selfie with McGrath.

Let’s hope he listens to McGrath, and takes his advice on board.’
