Crisis, what crisis? Stephen Kenny responded to suggestions his job as the Republic of Ireland manager may be under threat by presiding over a demolition job on Scotland. Ireland entered this Nations League tie with a record of two wins in 17 competitive games under Kenny. They left it with hope of a brighter future fully restored. Kenny’s glory was emphatic in style.
“We went into this game having had real setbacks,” said Kenny. “Any sort of victory over Scotland is a big one. But it wasn’t perfect. We are still a work in progress.”
