Martin O'Neill: We have to battle for points, but we are still in there fighting

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O’Neill has warned that his team will have to scrap for “every single particle” if they are to realise their dream of a second successive trip to the European Championship finals.

The Republic received a timely boost to their hopes of taking part in Euro 2016 in France on Friday evening when a 4-0 victory over Gibraltar, coupled with Scotland’s 1-0 defeat in Georgia, left them in third place in Group D and with one hand on a play-off berth.
