Where do Republic of Ireland, Wales and Scotland go from here?

Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales will not be in Brazil next summer, so what next? Who should replace Giovanni Trapattoni? Is Gordon Strachan on the right path? Should Chris Coleman stay in his job?

The Sky Sports pundits deliver their verdicts...

Mark Bowen and Ian Rush on whether Wales should stand by their manager Chris Coleman

BOWEN: The Welsh FA will get their heads together and talk about how the campaign went. We did lose our way a bit mid-way through the group but finished strongly and just showed what we are capable off in the last two games - we won our home game and then got something away from home. It sets Wales up nicely for the next European campaign but begs the question what might have been. It has been said many times before that we have got match-winners. We have got the likes of Gareth Bale to come back into the squad, the likes of Joe Allen as well. These young players can grow together and if we can get them all fit and well on the pitch together then you have a chance, Chris has not had that luxury. It's been a long and difficult campaign but if we are led to believe that Chris Coleman had two games to earn himself a new contract then I think he has done that with flying colours. A home victory against Macedonia and then to go out to Belgium and get something against a fantastic team bodes well for the future for Chris Coleman. RUSH: At the end of the day are you going to get anyone better that Chris? He deserves his chance and he needs another two years to show what he can do. The draw was a massive boost - in the first half it was all Belgium, Belgium, Belgium and Wales looked really tired. But again when you have people like Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale in your side then you are always going to be able to do something. That is what Ramsey did tonight, he got a goal out of nothing. We have got a few young players coming through and hopefully we can really look to the future.
