When Scotland drew in Dublin seven years ago it proved to be a real blow to their Euro 2016 hopes.
Gordon Strachan's men made an impressive start to that qualifying campaign and defeated Martin O'Neill's men in the home game at Parkhead.
But they were out of sorts when they travelled across the Irish Sea in June 2015 and got lucky with John O'Shea's own goal earning them a point.
However, it wasn't enough with that defeat in Georgia later that year proving a fatal blow in their hopes of reaching France.
Scotland head to the Aviva Stadium again, this time on Nations League duty, and are in confident mood despite the recent World Cup play off defeat to Ukraine.
A win against Armenia to kick off their Nations League campaign has helped lift spirits while Ireland have suffered back to back losses in Group B1, including against Armenia.
Stephen Kenny is already under pressure despite only winning a new contract a few months ago.
The stage is set for a cracker. So, in the words of someone formerly of this parish ... let’s go!
