Maloney magic earns Scotland vital victory

SHAUN MALONEY’S brilliant late strike earned Scotland a 1-0 victory against Ireland on Friday night and Coral make the Scots 11-10 to qualify for Euro 2016 with the Irish eased to 11-8.

Maloney, an 11-1 shot to score first, claimed the only goal of the game to put Scotland level on points with Ireland and Germany in Group D. The trio are three points behind leaders Poland.

Germany’s predicted rout of Gibraltar failed to materialise. The world champions had been 5-4 to win by ten or more goals but managed only a 4-0 victory.

Northern Ireland’s winning streak ended with a 2-0 defeat in Romania and Michael O’Neill’s men are 6-4 with Coral to qualify for the finals. The Faroe Islands produced the shock of the night, landing odds of 25-1 as they won 1-0 in Greece.
