It's a good experience and good to get some games in for myself. For me it was quite an easy afternoon really, so all the credit has to go to the defenders in front of me... Tuesday is a big game for us so hopefully we can get another win. It's a result that we deserved to be fair, we've done a lot of work over the last two weeks in camp. The back three in front of me were amazing in winning every header and blocks. Tinkering with the system slightly and starting with a strike partnership of Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi, they were the only team that really looked like threatening the goal.

Michael Obafemi takes star billing on first competitive start for Ireland.

Had to police Adams when the Scotland striker drifted out to the right side of the Ireland defence. A couple of terrible passes could have led to Scotland goals. But a handful when attacking corners.

“It was disappointing but we were all quite motivated for this one, we knew it would be sold out at the Aviva, against Scotland it’s such a big game, you try to forget Ukraine as quick as we could and we’re just excited and wanted to put in a good performance which we did. While he seldom put a foot wrong this afternoon, some questioned whether Kelleher could have done better for the goal against Ukraine midweek and the 23-year-old was eager not t0 dwell on it. “If we get another win we’re right back in the group, so Tuesday [against Ukraine] is a big game for us and hopefully we can win again.

The Boys in Green walloped the Scots 3-0 at the Aviva Stadium to put a difficult week, and 1-0 Nations League losses to Armenia and Ukraine, behind them.

“The big one was today and it was very satisfying for all of us.” “We deserved a performance like this, we were unlucky against Ukraine, we wanted a strong performance and we got it.

The clean sheet for Kelleher was his fourth for his country in what was his seventh cap, and he’ll hope to have one more runout on Tuesday when Ireland meets Ukraine in their final game of the summer. Robertson, meanwhile, was selected for what was his 58th game of the season combined for club and country. And on Saturday the latest round of Nations League fixtures continued, and it saw Kelleher’s Ireland host Robertson’s Scotland in Dublin – with both starting, and playing the full 90, for their respective sides.

A stunning long-distance strike from Michael Obafemi sealed the win for the Boys in Green. Taking everything in after the game, Kelleher made sure to praise Browne, his Ringmahon Rangers clubmate. “It was disappointing but we were all quite motivated for this one,” Kelleher said, “We knew it would be sold out at the Aviva, against Scotland it's such a big game, you try to forget Ukraine as quick as we could and we're just excited and wanted to put in a good performance which we did.
