Ireland and Scotland to wear black armbands in World Cup play-off to honour Creeslough victims

Vera Pauw's Ireland team and their opponents Scotland will wear black armbands to honour those affected by the Creeslough tragedy at tonight's 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying play-off at Hampden Park.

Ten people lost their lives in the horrific explosion that occurred in the Donegal town last Friday, with the first funerals taking place today, while a further eight people, including children, were brought to hospital to be treated for their injuries.

There will be a period of silence held before kick-off as a show of respect to the Creeslough community.
