Aiden McGeady has said that he is anticipating a "really good atmosphere" when Scotland face the Republic of Ireland in a Euro 2016 qualifier, even though he expects to be booed by the home crowd.
The Everton winger was born in Falkirk in Scotland, but chose to represent Ireland, where his paternal grandparents are from.
The 28-year-old told Herald Scotland: "If you break it down and think about it, it is just another game of football, isn't it? That is kind of the way I look at it.
"I know all the other things and the other side of it that will be going on. People have come out in the press and said their bit about myself and James getting booed or whatever. That is part and parcel of football and that is what is going to happen.
"Celtic Park is where I grew up playing. I played the majority of my career there, so it is a place I have obviously got a big emotional bond with. I loved playing there and, hopefully, it can carry on on Friday. It is going to be good going back and it should be a great atmosphere playing for Ireland against Scotland."
McGeady has earned 72 caps for the Republic since making his debut in 2004.
