James McClean to come on and bang in a goal to win Ireland's opening Euro 2012 match - surely life for Irish football fans couldn't get any better than that. Well if you pick up this week's Celt newspaper, you can place a FREE €5 bet with Sean Shields Bookmakers, and a McClean goal could see you collect a nice windfall while you're enjoying Ireland's most important soccer match in a decade.

Of course you don't have to bet on the Derry winger rippling the net - maybe you fancy Richard Dunne to steal a goal - after all he's a threat from set pieces; or Robbie Keane making it international goal number 54?

Don't let us colour your selection - bet on almost anything you like as Sean Shields is offering a huge range of options in the Croatia game.
