Football legend Ray Houghton has launched a staunch defence of the Irish women’s team after they were filmed singing a pro-IRA song and declared: "They didn’t mean any harm."
The player-turned-pundit, who became a Boys in Green hero after scoring key goals against England and Italy during his career, also said he doesn’t believe it should be taken any further.
The controversial clip shows jubilant players in their dressing room jumping up and down while chanting “Ooh, ah, up the RA” after their historic victory against Scotland on Tuesday night.
