James McClean has expressed his disapproval of players who put club before country as he prepares to win his 50th Republic of Ireland cap against Mexico.
The 28-year-old West Brom winger is in line to captain Ireland at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey during the early hours of Friday morning on what will be a landmark occasion for him.
Manager Martin O'Neill has praised McClean for asking to make the trip to the United States when many of his Premier League counterparts are not joining up with the squad until they return to Dublin at the weekend, but the man himself was having none of it.
