McGeady out to pile on pain for Russians

Aiden McGeady will have no qualms about making himself a villain in his new home as he attempts to fire the Republic of Ireland into the finals of Euro 2012.

The 24-year-old midfielder made a £9.5m switch to Spartak Moscow from Celtic during the summer, but will hope to start for his country against Russia in Dublin on Friday evening with three precious points at stake.
