Proud Martin O’Neill wants more of the same

Martin O’Neill had one simple message for his team after their second-half fightback against Poland had salvaged what could yet turn out to be a vital point on the rocky qualification road to France 2016.

“I said this to the players at the end of the game: Replicate that there and we have got a really fighting chance,” said the manager.

“Of course, I’d rather get the first goal in the game (because) we’ve been chasing some of the matches. But, overall, I think that the draw with Poland sets it up now for Scotland. Essentially it’s probably a must-win game now, a big match for us.
