Damien Duff is handed the Republic of Ireland captaincy for tomorrow's match against Italy to mark his 100th cap.

Damien Duff will earn his 100th cap during the Republic of Ireland's final Euro 2012 group game against Italy tomorrow evening.

To mark the occasion, the Fulham winger has also been handed the captaincy.

Usual skipper Robbie Keane has retained his place in the starting lineup, while coach Giovanni Trapattoni has resisted the urge to start with James McClean, who has been forced to settle for a place on the bench.

ROI team to face Italy: Given; O'Shea, Dunne, St Ledger, Ward; Duff, Whelan, Andrews, McGeady; Keane, Doyle
