Ireland and Scotland last played each other in June 2015, a 1-1 draw in the qualification group for Euro 2016. Scotland beat Ireland 1-0 at Celtic Park during qualification for the tournament, but the Boys in Green finished above them in the group after beating Germany. Martin O'Neill's side then advanced to Euro 2016 after winning their play-off against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Since then, Scotland's fortunes have improved. The Scots rose from being ranked 67th in the world in 2016 to their current standing of 39. They also reached the group stages of Euro 2020.
Ireland, meanwhile, have struggled over the last few years. The Boys in Green, currently ranked 49th in the world, have not won a competitive match at home since beating Gibraltar 2-0 in June 2019, three years ago.
