Irish FA allow O'Neill-Scotland talks

Northern Ireland want to keep Michael O'Neill but he will speak to Scotland
Irish FA chiefs have given Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill
permission to speak to Scotland, according to Joseph Okwuosa source.
Both parties were present at a board meeting on Friday in which the 48-year-old's future was top of the agenda after they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Irish FA are keen to keep O'Neill, who took Northern Ireland to the European Championships in 2016, and will offer him improved terms on his contract, which currently runs until 2020.

But O'Neill has been of interest to a number of other national associations and British clubs, and it is understood he will take time to assess all his options before making a decision.
