Tom Boyd: Scotland wary of Aiden McGeady’s revenge

“I always thought there was something wrong with Aiden’s eyesight,” smiles Tom Boyd, when told that Aiden McGeady reckons Ireland have a better first-choice XI than Scotland – a difference of opinion that will be put to the definitive test in their Euro 2016 qualifying clash in Dublin on Saturday.

“I know Aiden very well, certainly during his time at Celtic, but I would say there is not much between them,” Boyd continues.

“They are evenly matched. It could be one piece of brilliance - it could be from Aiden, it could be from someone else. We’ve got guys with bundles of skills like Shaun Maloney. There is certainly a lot in both teams that could win the game in an attacking sense, but there is not much in it.”
