Scotland fans go wild as Shaun Maloney celebrates scoring the winning goal at the game at Celtic Park

Maloney dragged Scotland firmly into the race for Euro 2016
qualification with a superb winner to end the Republic of Ireland's
unbeaten start to the campaign.

home side the lead from close range and Ireland very nearly snatched a

head and cannoned against the crossbar.
