In fact the only loss of their campaign so far has been the 3-0 defeat to Ireland at the Aviva. At the back, a lack of game time is a concern for both Coleman and Duffy, Coleman has not played a minute this season while Duffy has registered just 120 seconds. Ireland, of course, also have to look over their shoulder at Armenia in order to avoid relegation to League C. They would then need Ukraine to draw or lose to Armenia, and Scotland and Ukraine to draw on Tuesday. Ireland would need to beat both Scotland on Saturday, preferably by a few goals to level up the goal difference, and then beat Armenia on Tuesday. The latest match of Ireland’s Uefa Nations League game will be broadcast on RTÉ2 and on Premier Sports 1.

If that requires the Burnley playmaker sitting on top of his back three, so be it, for the Aston Villa trickster is matchwinner material. The Corkman has proven previously his ability to keep taller strikers in check. Now back at his first club Hearts, he’s there to be exposed if Ireland generate the nous to test him. Seldom does the opportunity present itself for six days of preparation. Stephen Kenny’s finest day so far as Ireland manager, the 3-0 thumping of the Scots, hasn’t receded and is a pedestal Ireland can work off for this return match.

There’s a mixture of youth and experience, we’ve had to suffer in terms of some results in the rebuilding. They’ve consistently been good so anything we get, we know we’ll definitely have to earn that,” said Kenny, who asked if he expected more of the same from the Scots in terms of set-up.
