McGeady vows to ignore the boo-boys

For someone in the eye of a looming Scottish storm tomorrow night, Glaswegian Aiden McGeady is vowing to ignore the furore and concentrate on steering Ireland’s voyage towards France in 2016.

Celtic Park seems all the more likely to stage just one of Ireland’s Scots, as James McCarthy’s fitness battle enters extra-time, yet the sulphuric reception that awaits him doesn’t concern McGeady.

His stance doesn’t stem from being insulated from the outside world this week at the squad’s base in Portmarnock.
