Steve Clarke confessed he understands Scotland fans' fury in Dublin but refused to criticise his side for a Nations League drubbing against Ireland.
Clarke 's side were battered 3-0 by a side who had not won a competitive fixture since 2019, nor had they scored three times in a game since 2014.
Goals from Alan Browne, Troy Parrott and Michael Obafemi left a travelling Tartan Army stunned at the Aviva Stadium to seriously dent Scotland's chances of winning Group B1 with a double header against Ukraine still to come.
