Ireland seek revenge against Scots in Euro final
Four weeks ago, Simmons’ charges made a sorry exit from Aberdeen with their reputation in tatters after a big defeat by Scotland had followed a record loss to New Zealand — two days of pain that has barely been eased by victories over Norway, Denmark, Holland and Italy in the past week.
