WHAT HAS STEPHEN KENNY SAID
"Scotland were very good the other day, they played very well and to be honest with you, they’ve been very good since Steve Clarke took charge and qualified for the Euros.
"They’ve consistently been good so anything we get, we know we’ll definitely have to earn that. For us, we have to focus on ourselves and make sure we’re right, that’s what we are firmly focused on. You have to adapt for sure, you can’t play the same way, you have to adapt to your opponent. That’s the nature of football. “Injury wise, there’s no issues at all. Everyone in the camp is fully fit, nobody is even doubtful."WHAT HAS JOHN EGAN SAID
"It's a tough game but these are the matches you want to be involved in and I know the lads are really excited to get going. We're here to do a job and get an important three points, and with a big travelling support behind us, we're really motivated.
"The Scotland match at the Aviva was fantastic. We were brilliant that day and the quality of goals were great, but we need to try and produce a similar performance tomorrow. "Scotland are a strong side and I watched the Ukraine match in the midweek and they showed how difficult they will be as opposition."REPUBLIC OF IRLAND SQUAD
