Scotland and Ireland in Nations League Action

Sunday, 23rd Mar 2025 09:23

George Hirst, Cieran Slicker, Dara O’Shea and Jack Taylor could all add to their caps this evening when their sides are involved in UEFA Nations League play-off second legs.

Hirst, who made his international debut as a sub on Thursday, and Slicker are with Scotland, who play Greece at Hampden Park (BBC Two, KO 5pm), having secured a 1-0 lead from the first leg in Piraeus.

The Blues striker again seems most likely to be on the bench, while Slicker is the third-choice keeper in the squad and appears certain to have to wait for his international debut.

O’Shea started and won his 33rd cap and Taylor came on as a sub to pick up his second as the Republic of Ireland won their play-off first leg 2-1 against Bulgaria in Plovdiv on Thursday.

The two teams meet again at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin this evening (Amazon Prime, KO 7.45pm).
