Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill on Wednesday unveiled a provisional 39-man squad for next month's two-legged 2016 European Championship qualifying play-off against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The list will be trimmed ahead of the first match in Zenica on November 13, with the return leg scheduled to take place at Dublin's Aviva Stadium three days later.

Reading midfielder Stephen Quinn is unavailable after undergoing knee surgery, while uncapped trio Alan Judge, Eunan O'Kane and Adam Rooney have all been included.

"After finishing third in a difficult qualifying group, we enter into the play-offs against a very good team in Bosnia and Herzegovina," O'Neill told a press conference.

"Our fate is in our own hands and we will be doing all that we can to qualify for next summer's finals.

"We will play the second leg at the Aviva Stadium and that is a big plus for us because the Irish supporters were fantastic in our last game there against Germany and we know that there will be a similar atmosphere for this play-off."

Ireland, who did not qualify for last year's World Cup, finished third in their qualifying group, four points behind world champions Germany and three points adrift of second-place Poland.
