Martin O’Neill: We must deal with pressure

Martin O’Neill concedes that, even though they have home advantage, his Irish team will be the one feeling the most pressure when Scotland come calling to the Aviva on Saturday.

Joint-second with Germany behind leaders Poland in Group D, the Scots enjoy a two-point advantage over Ireland in the Euro 2016 qualifying table, having claimed that 1-0 victory in Glasgow last November.

“You would have to say that there is more pressure on us to win to redress the situation from the Scottish game and put ourselves right into it,” said O’Neill at the squad’s training base in Malahide.
