One set of Irish grandparents. Same applies for James McCarthy at Wigan, again Scottish born, but plays for the Republic because of one grandparent. The same rules would allow me to be eligible for Northern Ireland, and the Republic if I opted to take up my entitlement to Irish citizenship.
I'll refrain from commenting on whether the fact that both of them grew up as Celtic fans had anything to do with their decision.
