Albion playmaker Paddy McCourt has been recalled to the Northern Ireland squad for next month's Euro 2016 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Greece.

He joins Albion team-mate Aaron Hughes in Michael O'Neill's 27-strong squad for the games against the Faroe Islands in Belfast on October 11 and Greece three days later.

McCourt scored two outstanding goals against the Faroe Islands when the sides met at Windsor Park in the previous European Championship qualifying campaign in August 2011.

Northern Ireland came from behind to secure an encouraging 2-1 victory over Hungary in their group opener earlier this month.
