O’Neill must find solution to Irish problem

Some of the Irish players allowed the occasion to get to them in Glasgow but, if our Euro qualifying hopes are to improve I believe the onus is on the manager to more clearly define the way in which he wants his team to play

Friday night’s hugely disappointing show and result in Glasgow creates a real question mark in my mind about Ireland’s s prospects in this European Championship qualifying group.

The 1-0 defeat allowed Scotland to get right back into the mix when a draw would have kept them at a distance and a win would have put them out of the equation, certainly for second place. But with the way the group is ~panning out, Friday’s result makes it look like Ireland will now be dragged into a battle for third rather than second.
