The Football Association of Ireland has apologised for offensive songs sung in the Ireland dressing room following their qualification to the World Cup in Glasgow last night.
Video footage emerged online of the players appearing to sing a pro-IRA song in the Hampden Park dressing room while they celebrated their 1-0 win over Scotland. The players could be heard in the video footage singing "Ooh ah, up the 'RA".
In a statement, the FAI said: "The Football Association of Ireland and the Republic of Ireland Ireland Women's National Team Manager Vera Pauw apologise for any offence caused by a song sung by players in the Ireland dressing room after the FIFA Women's World Cup Qualifying Play-off win over Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday night."
