'Pro-IRA' song climbs to number 2 in UK charts after Irish women's team backlash

Celtic Symphony by The Wolfe Tones has climbed to number two in the UK iTunes chart amid a row over the Irish women’s football team singing a ‘pro-IRA’ song following their victory over Scotland this week.

Players celebrating the victory were filmed singing the chant ‘Ooh aah up the Ra’ in the Hampden dressing room on Tuesday.

UEFA and Police Scotland are investigating the footage which was circulated on social media which led to an apology from the Irish FA and the manager and players.
