Stephen Kenny: Hampden clash was 'tough' one to lose
Stephen Kenny felt that Ireland were hard done by in their defeat to Scotland with a Ryan Christie penalty deciding the hard-fought UEFA Nations League match in Glasgow.
A penalty kick would eventually decide this hugely entertaining Hampden Park encounter, which was played at a frenetic pace with both sides creating chances throughout the contest.
And the Ireland manager felt that the spot-kick was harshly awarded, with Alan Browne apparently pushed inside the box that forced his hand to move towards the ball.
John Egan had put Ireland in control of affairs inside the opening 20 minutes and while the goal certainly rocked the Scots, they soon regained their momentum to put serious pressure on the Ireland penalty box throughout the remainder of the first half.
