Naismith: McGeady can hurt Germans

Steven Naismith believes his Everton team-mate Aiden McGeady has the guile to ensure Ireland go one better than Scotland in next month’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Germany.

On Sunday night in Dortmund, Gordon Strachan’s Scots exposed some of the World champions’ defensive deficiencies despite losing 2-1.

Watford wide man Ikechi Anya, originally from the same Castlemilk suburb of Glasgow as McGeady, was allowed to bomb clear midway through the second half to equalise.
