The Irish supporters had one hero, and that was the man who scored four of the five goals that day, Jimmy Quinn.

He was the man who was now the hero of two nations. It was a pity he was not playing for them, but he was one of them, for his family was Irish, and he lived in the village of Croy, an Irish mining enclave in Dunbartonshire. Dublin in 1908 was in the middle of an uneasy calm.

Just over an hour-and-a-half until kick-off at the Aviva Stadium. He had played an amount of games between January and March but not since March. It's matchday in the Nations League and you can follow all of the action from Dublin right here. It's been seven years since Scotland faced Ireland and tonight's Nations League clash will the be the sixth meeting of the countries since the turn of the Millennium. The Tartan Army are taking over Dublin are in fine voice ahead of the Nations League qulaifier. That makes it two Nations League wins from two for Oleksandr Petrakov's men, and now it;s up to Scotland to calim the points in Dublin and keep pace at the top of Group B1. It looks like we'll be fighting it out with Ukraine once again if we want to claim top spot in Groub B1 and secure promotion to the top level of the Nations League. Full-time in Poland, where Ukraine are having to play their home games due to the situation in their homeland, and ir's a routine win for the men in yellow. That will be easier said than done though, with a hurting Ireland side out to try and make up for a shocker of a start to the group after two defeats from their opening two games. The empties always pile up, but the Tartan Army are making sure they clean up after themsevles in Dublin after putting a major dent in the stocks of Guinness.

That means the mood in the Irish camp is in contrast to Scotland who bounced back from their World Cup play-off heartache to beat Armenia and lift the nation's spirits.

Confirmation of the Irish team below — five changes including a first start for Michael Obafemi. FAIreland ⚽️.

Minute-by-minute report: Will Stephen Kenny's side finally get their campaign up and running? Join John Brewin.

We are up against it, Scotland have a formidable line up and we have to be at out best. The Nations League continues with this battle of Celtic soul brothers, and there’s a little riding on it, namely the credibility of Stephen Kenny, Ireland’s manager, the Bossman Steo to those in the know, the Lossman Steo for those beginning to think that Ireland’s footballing cultural revolution has stalled. For Scotland, Grant Hanley and Scott McTominay come in for John Souttar and Stuart Armstrong, ahead of Billy Gilmour. A glance at social media suggests this is not a popular selection, though Gilmour’s fitness is perhaps a little lacking. We are disappointed, we were on a good run, one defeat in 12, and we have managed to lose both games without conceding a chance in either game. Ireland are still yet to win a single Nations League match in its three iterations so far. Kelleher and Duffy played the ball out from the back and should have been punished. It’s a big test, we know Scotland have had a good time, a lot of players playing at the top of the Premier League. If we were to beat Scotland it would be the biggest result here in this stadium in seven years. McClean curls in from the flank, Obafemi stoops to nod in, only for Scott Mckenna’s header to direct it off. It won’t be an entry in 101 Great Goals but they all count, and Stephen Kenny’s team find a goal for the first time in this Nations League tranche. 12 min: A first real attack for Scotland, with Ryan Christie at its epicentre, and Ralston is sent down the flanks, pinging in a cross that’s cleared away, though the space had been left gaping. 16 min: Josh Cullen plays in Parrott, then Browne gallops on and has a shot blocked before Ireland pass it around. Browne steps across to head a Ralston corner behind.

Stephen Kenny's men go in search of a much needed victory in the UEFA Nations League at the Aviva Stadium this evening.

Obafemi lays it off to Collins, who overhits his pass out of play. Duffy knocks it down to Browne who bundles it home. Ireland have to learn their lesson. Equally brilliant defending from Browne to clear for a corner. As a result, Ireland have now won zero, drawn six and lost six of their 12 Nations League games since the competition was introduced in 2018. The game kicks-off at 5pm and will be shown live on both RTE Two and Premier Sports 1 this afternoon.

it was a working holiday — that’s a nice way to put it! “They used to say it was a holiday but we’d be out in the bog and saving hay. The word is gallus, and Owen Coyle explains: “It means having a bit of a swagger with a point to prove.” Simple Minds have a couple that would qualify under the granny rule. "Some people hate the English. I don’t. They’re just wankers. There’s a bit of Glasgow slang that fits in well with the world view of those of Irish descent in the city. Of the captains that led Ireland to major tournaments, three — Mick McCarthy, Roy Keane and Robbie Keane — played for Celtic. McCarthy also managed Ireland to a major finals, as did Martin O’Neill — a former Celtic boss. Writer Irvine Welsh might take a different view. He was always committed to the country of his birth, but there were others, though, who gave in to the pull of the green and their family’s roots. “My middle name is Columba and St Columba was someone who travelled between Scotland and Ireland and was involved in monasteries. We’re ruled by effete arseholes." Scotland come to Dublin today, and they are led by a man who could be wearing the green of Ireland — Liverpool’s left-back.
