Northern Ireland winger Keith Gillespie says he still sees a long-term future for himself in international football at the age of 33.

Gillespie will win his 81st cap in Wednesday's friendly against Georgia.

"I'll keep going as long as I can and I'm looking forward to the World Cup qualifying campaign," he said.

"Some people are saying it could be my last campaign but I still feel very fit and I keep myself in shape so who knows how long I've got."

The Sheffield United player believes home advantage will give Northern Ireland the edge over the Georgians.

The game will also give Nigel Worthington's team the chance to bounce back from the 1-0 friendly defeat by Bulgaria in Belfast last month.

He added: "I don't really know much about Georgia but I watched them against Scotland in the Euro 2008 qualifiers and technically they are very good.

"However, we feel we can beat anyone at Windsor Park and hopefully we can get a result on Wednesday.

"The last friendly against Bulgaria was disappointing but the good thing was that there were no points at stake."
