Seamus Coleman’s friendship with Steven Naismith being put on hold

Ireland full-back Seamus Coleman has admitted things could get spicy when he squares up against Everton team-mate Steven Naismith on Saturday week.

Attacker Naismith was a key player in Scotland’s 1-0 victory over Ireland last November when a rehearsed corner caught Coleman and Ireland off-guard for the solitary goal.

As Aiden McGeady outlined on Tuesday, the Irish quartet at Goodison Park have been forced to listen to the Scot goading since but the return fixture is the opportunity to get their own back.
