Martin O'Neill speaks ahead of the Scotland game

Robbie Keane and Aiden McGeady are injury doubts for tomorrows game with Scotland in the Euro 2016 qualifier.

The Irish captain, has been struggling with injuries and has also had to deal with the Portmarnock tragedy earlier this week after Keane's two cousins were killed in an industrial accident. Martin O'Neill has said it is fully up to Keane if he wishes to involve himself in the game.

Aiden McGeady may also miss the game due to a knee injury that he has struggled with all season.

The Irish Independent's Daniel McDonnell joined Ger in studio this evening on Off the Ball to look ahead to the game. McDonnell said that McGeady may still be involved in the game, but might start now on the bench.

Speaking today at the pre match press conference, Martin O'Neill said he wasn't sure how Scotland will approach the tomorrow but he said the home side will play to win. "It's difficult to set your mindset out for a draw".

"We are in crunch time tomorrow", McDonnell said about the game. He thinks its hard to be confident of the team getting the win tomorrow, feeling the evidence isn't there.
