Liam Scales has urged the Republic of Ireland to believe they can succeed where England failed as they prepare for Sunday’s Nations League showdown with Greece.

Scales and his team-mates headed for Athens on a high after Thursday night’s dramatic 2-1 win in Finland, the first of their League B2 campaign at the third attempt and a maiden victory for new head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson.
