UEFA and Police Scotland launch investigations into Ireland players singing pro-IRA song

UEFA and Police Scotland have launched separate investigations after a video circulated online showing members of the Republic of Ireland team singing a pro-IRA song after their World Cup play-off win over Scotland.

Footage emerged showing a number of players in the squad singing along to Wolfe Tones song 'Celtic Symphony', which includes a pro-IRA reference, in their dressing room after the 1-0 victory on Tuesday night.

Republic boss Vera Pauw and the Football Association of Ireland issued apologies over the incident, but European football’s governing body has confirmed it will take a closer look.
