One would have imagined that the Scottish press would be having a field day in the wake of last night's incidents but for the most part their reporting has been rather subdued. Of course, it all happened too late to make the majority of the papers but there has been plenty of coverage online.
The Scottish Sun
The Scottish Sun have taken the FAI's statement and ran with it for their headline.
Ireland's Euro 2016 preparations thrown into chaos — after Roy Keane’s altercation with a fan: http://t.co/XYge2i0eBw pic.twitter.com/ZFSkLBVGPF

The Scottish Daily Record
The Daily Record are perhaps the most apocalyptic, saying that 'Republic of Ireland’s preparations for tomorrow night’s Euro 2016 crunch against Scotland were thrown into chaos after an alleged incident.'
They later added 'the incident has plunged has placed a massive cloud over the Irish squad as they prepare for the qualification showdown against the Scots tomorrow.'
The Herald Scotland
The Herald is much more subdued; merely stating the facts of the matter. They publish the FAI statement, the other confirmed parts of the story and the furthest they stray away from the crux of the tale is by adding 'O'Neill and number two Keane celebrated a year in charge of the Ireland team earlier this month.'
The Scotsman
Meanwhile The Scotsman have an even shorter article. They mention the Irish Independent reports about Keane's book being somehow involved in the whole thing. However they don't have any of the FAI statement, instead saying that they've refused to comment on the incident.
