James McClean urged any player who is not committed to the Republic of Ireland to "sod off and play for someone else" after Declan Rice elected to represent England.
West Ham star Rice – who is of dual nationality – made his England debut in their 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifying win over Montenegro on Monday, having switched to Gareth Southgate's side despite appearing in three international friendlies for Ireland.
McClean, who played the full 90 minutes in Ireland's 1-0 victory against Georgia in Group D action on Tuesday, found himself in a similar position when it came to picking his international allegiances, but has insisted that his country are better off without players who are aiming to use them as a stepping stone.
