Scotland beat Republic of Ireland 2-1 in their final home UEFA Nations League B Group 1 section
The nation was in a buoyant mood as it came into the game knowing two draws would seal promotion to League A and boost their Euro 2024 hopes following a 3-0 midweek win against Ukraine. But as Tartan Army hero John McGinn made his 50th appearance in navy blue, Stephen Kenny's side struck a major blow when John Egan headed home from a corner. They had already had the ball in the net via Troy Parrott but it was ruled offside, as Steve Clarke's men were very quickly brought back to earth and told they were in a game.
