Scott Brown will wreak havoc on Ireland, predicts Charlie Mulgrew

Charlie Mulgrew admits Scott Brown may not get the credit he deserves from all quarters, but he warned the Republic of Ireland they are about to discover how good the Scotland skipper really is.

Celtic midfielder Mulgrew is expected to partner his Parkhead colleague in the engine room when the Scots take on Martin O’Neill’s side in Dublin on Saturday.

The Aviva Stadium clash could yet prove pivotal to the Dark Blues’ hopes of qualifying for Euro 2016 and boss Gordon Strachan will hope Mulgrew can repeat his man-of-the-match display from the last time the sides met in November.
