Martin O'Neill in Michael Stewart spat as Celtic hero handed blunt on air response to Scotland 'risk and reward' poser

Former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill questions Scotland's tactical nous in the Nations League win over Ireland - as he clashed with pundit Michael Stewart over the "risk and reward" strategy.

It was another massive night at Hampden for Steve Clarke as Scotland took control of their Nations League destiny and the route to Euro 2024 as they came from behind to see off the visitors. John Egan had handed Ireland and early lead, but Jack Hendry 's header just after the break and a late Ryan Christie penalty mean Clarke's men go into the final game with Ukraine top of Group B1.

Despite watching Scotland claim the three points, the former Ireland gaffer O'Neill was bullish at the full-time whistle and insisted the host should have been punished for the full-throttle attack and high press implemented in front of the Tartan Army. O'Neill challenged Stewart over a comment he had made on Premier Sports commentary during the clash.
