IT FEELS LIKE we’ve been building up to tonight’s Euro 2016 qualifier ever since the draw was made.
Scotland host Ireland in Celtic Park in the first competitive meeting between the neighbours in almost 28 years.
There has been a fiery undercurrent to the build-up all week, stirred by some ill-thought-out comments and the anticipation of a hostile reception for Aiden McGeady when he lines out against the country of his birth.
After all the talking there’s still a football match to be played and, despite the absence of some key men through injury, Martin O’Neill will hoping that Ireland can build on their unbeaten start in Group D.
The bookies make Scotland slight favourites but thousands of Irish fans are travelling with three points on their mind.
So we’re asking — who do you think will win tonight’s clash in Celtic Park?
