If the game is in Scotland this calendar year, it could potentially be in Celtic park (or ibrox!) http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl/celtic-and-rangers-vie-for-euro-2016-ties-1-3316833 ------------- Beidh lá eile ag an bPaorach |

We get 5% allocation. I'm sure JD will do a deal with the scots to give us more tickets and we'll return the favour in Dublin. Say we get max 5k tickets. We brought c9k to Wembley last May. No reason why we wouldn't bring that many to Glasgow. |

We could be playing them in Celtic Park too. Hundreds of Celtic fans will turn out for it. A few thousand could make the ferry just from Belfast. You could have 20,000 Ireland fans in Glasgow that day. ------------- 'The younger generation as in 17 -25 are certainly gayer than their predecessors.

Celtic park would be obvious choice for Irish fans...but if they play at Ibrox could be intimadating atmoshere

Some more from the TA forum Ireland - a good draw. The best 2nd seed to draw. They are decent side when managed well as was shown in qualifying for the Euros, they are able to go to places like Macedonia, Georgia and win too, but plenty of journeyman and average players. I don't see much difference in our squad and theirs. Poland and Ireland have been in decline. We are kinda on the up... Bet the Irish and Poles are more gutted about drawing us out of pot 4 than we are about getting them. Time for some confidence lads! Awesome! 2nd is ours, Rep Ireland aren't a great side and are on the down, take McCarthy and Coleman out and you don't fear anyone I feel we are better and would expect 4/6 points, games against Poland and our away game against Georgia should be crucial. Also depends when we play Germany at home.. whether we face their A or B team either way i suppose it will be tough against them |

Best bet is probably over from Holyhead, if you're heading from Dublin. The ferry goes to Cairnryan, not Stranraer. I think they bus you from there to Ayr and you can get the train on from there. It's dirt cheap, anyway. Under €50 each way to Glasgow. -------------

Alright lads, signed up on here after reading some of the comments and queries you boys have. Game will DEFINITELY be in Glasgow, Murrayfield is out of question as it would mean the SFA losing out on money to the rugby, I imagine for this game it will be Celtic Park seeing as the demand for tickets will be so high it would make sense to play it at a 62k seater instead of a 50k. Celtic Park is easily accessible from anywhere near the city centre, its about 2/3 mile away. There will be absolutely no bother either, been to games home and away supporting Scotland and not seen one bit of trouble. Also for those saying they will get tickets for the home end you've not got a chance, people outwith the 35 thousand in the SSC will struggle to get tickets for the home games never mind away fans. Hope you enjoy your journey and its a good game. Very interesting good group. Bring it on!
