It’s often said in football that you don’t change a winning formula but I still believe Ireland require a varied approach to beat Scotland and reach the World Cup.

Although the team has won the last four games in a row, without conceding a goal, there were aspects of the performances against Finland and Slovakia last month that have me concerned.
