Hearts duo called up for Northern Ireland friendly clash

Celtic goalkeeper Conor Hazard, currently on loan at Falkirk from Celtic, has been handed a first-call-up by manager Michael O’Neill.
Kilmarnock’s Jordan Jones, Aberdeen’s Niall McGinn, Motherwell’s Trevor Carson and Rangers’ Lee Hodson are also included.
