Celtic 'delighted' to host Irish internationals

Celtic have told the Republic of Ireland they may be able to use Parkhead for their World Cup qualifying matches.

Plans to revamp Lansdowne Road have been put on ice and that could mean the Irish looking elsewhere to play their home games against France, Switzerland, Cyprus, Israel and the Faroe Islands.

A Celtic spokesman told the Scottish Sun: "We have already made it clear to the FAI we’d be delighted to discuss the possibility of hosting future Irish international matches at Celtic Park."
