West Ham United great Christian Dailly has backed Scotland to come out of their Euro2016 qualifier with the Republic of Ireland with a positive result.

Dailly, capped 67 times for his country, says recent Scotland performances have given the squad belief they can take something from the game.

Scotland are currently level on points with Germany and one behind group leaders Poland with Ireland a further two points behind in Group D qualifying for France 2016.

Dailly told Sky Sports: "I think they'll come across as really confident. I think they'll be confident. They'll certainly not feel inferior in any way and it is just excitement.

"I feel like it is pretty evenly matched but I would think Scotland would think that they can get at least a draw there and the way they've been going about things lately, they will be looking to go and win it, which I think makes for an exciting game.

"There is obviously always going to be an air of apprehension and pressure because the country has been waiting for so many years to qualify for a major championship but I think they'll just be confident."
