'I'd bet on a draw' - John Aldridge on Ireland's trip to Scotland

There are just a couple of days before Scotland and Ireland face off at Celtic Park in a crucial Euro 2016 qualifier.

To look ahead to the game, I was joined by former Ireland, Liverpool and Real Sociedad striker John Aldridge.

He believes the Ireland style of play bears similarity to aspects of Giovanni Trapattoni, expects a "cagey" game, thinks a draw would be a solid result from an Ireland perspective and gave his take on how Ireland should approach the fixture against one of our rivals for qualification.

He also heaped praise on Scotland manager Gordon Strachan's coaching ability and responded to those Gordon McQueen comments about James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady.

Listen in to the interview below:

I also asked the former Sociedad striker what the club's new manager David Moyes can expect from his new life in the Basque country with Aldridge citing the food, the beauty of the Basque country and the challenges of the language. You can hear that part of the interview on this Friday's Team 33.
