Is Scotland vs Republic of Ireland on TV? How to watch Nations League clash, kick-off time and ticket details

Scotland enjoyed a huge 3-0 win over Ukraine last night as they took one step closer to winning promotion to the Nations League top tier.

Wins in both of the Scots’ final two games would confirm their place as second seeds heading into next year’s Euro tournament, while Republic of Ireland will also be eyeing a strong finish to the group stage.

The two national teams will come head-to-head this weekend as they battle it out in League B, with Stephen Kenny’s side needing a victory to be remain in with a chance of finishing top.

A victory for Scotland could confirm their top place finish if Armenia were to shock Ukraine, however it is likely to go down to the last day when they take The Blue and Yellow for the second time in six days.

Three points for Republic of Ireland could leave them only two points behind Saturday’s opponents ahead of an arguably less challenging final clash with Armenia next week.
