Seamus Coleman reveals that Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill gave the team a "slap on the wrist" for allowing Scotland to equalise in Saturday's qualifier.

Republic of Ireland full-back Seamus Coleman has revealed that manager Martin O'Neill was "disappointed" by the manner in which the team conceded to Scotland in Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier.

Ireland led at half time, but one minute after the restart, Shaun Maloney was allowed to play a one-two on the edge of the penalty area before scoring the equaliser.

"Like everyone else, [O'Neill's] disappointed, as you can imagine, any manager's reaction straight after that," the Evening Times quotes Coleman as saying.

"We were going to keep it tight and then we concede 45 seconds in, so we got a bit of a slap on the wrist for that, and rightly so."

Ireland are fourth in Group D.
