The Chief Executive of the Scottish Football Association, Stewart Regan has said said his association would never challenge the result of a match "on the back of a refereeing error" and the SFA "respect the laws of the game". Regan was reacting to last weeks news of Ireland receiving a €5,000,000 payment from FIFA in 2010 after Ireland's play off defeat by France the year before.
Regan also commented on FAI Chief Executive, John Delaney's comments on ticket allocations, before Ireland travelled to Glasgow last year for their Euro 2016 qualifier. He made it clear that he has disappointed by Delaney's pre match involvement. "The words tension and safety were used. That was disappointing at the time. As we fully expected, there was no issues at the match at Celtic Park."
The SFA Chief Executive also expects Scotland's fans to do all they can to get tickets for Saturday's game in the Aviva Stadium. "We have got around 3,500 tickets for the game in Dublin. I am sure there will more more fans in the stadium than that. I'm sure they will get on well with their Irish colleagues and I'm sure they will have a great night."
