Ireland fans show Stephen Kenny support ahead of Scotland game

A large group of Ireland fans vocally backed Stephen Kenny ahead of Saturday's Nations League clash with Scotland.

The supporters chanted 'there's only one Stephen Kenny' outside the Aviva Stadium ahead of the 5pm kick-off.

Pressure is mounting on Kenny after Ireland's defeats to Armenia and Ukraine in the past week, but a lot of supporters remain firmly behind the Dubliner.

And Kenny remains adamant that he is the right man to lead Ireland.

He said ahead of the game: “I’ve just a signed a new contract and I’m committed here until after the Euros. We’ve just lost two very, very narrow games that we are disappointed to lose.

“We are getting ready for the game tomorrow and we’re just fully focused on the game tomorrow.”

Asked further if he had made mistakes and learned from them during his tenure to date, he added: “I’ve learned a lot, yes, I have learned a lot.

“We’ve got an awful lot of potential in this squad, an awful lot of potential, we are looking to grow and get better and improve.”
