Marc Wilson could be out for Scotland game with hamstring injury

Martin O'Neill has been dealt another defensive blow ahead of Friday's clash with the Scots

Marc Wilson limped out of Stoke’s game with Spurs today with a hamstring problem, adding to Martin O’Neill’s defensive woes.

Wilson has been a staple in O’Neill’s back four since the Derry man took over but the Ireland boss may be forced to call upon Damien Delaney or Alex Pearce to fill in alongside John O’Shea for Friday’s vital Euro 2016 clash with Scotland.

No time frame has been given for Wilson’s return but a 5 day recovery seems a tad optimistic.

Please Richard, COME BACK!!!
