Job not done for O'Neill and Ireland

A win over Georgia put Republic of Ireland four points clear of Scotland but Martin O'Neill knows a place at Euro 2016 is far from sealed.

Republic of Ireland coach Martin O'Neill stressed that his side still has plenty of work to do to clinch Euro 2016 qualification following a 1-0 win over Georgia.

Jon Walters netted the winner in Monday's clash at the Aviva Stadium, earning a result that strengthens Ireland's grip on third place in Group D, which would leave it facing a playoff tie in order to reach next year's finals in France.

Ireland (15 points) is now four points clear of Scotland in third and still has a chance of automatic qualification.
