Following the outcome of the Euro 2016 draw this morning, Ireland now know who their opposition will be in the play-offs.
Martin O'Neill's side will face Bosnia and Herzegovina over two legs in the Euro 2016 playoffs next month. The draw, which took place in Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland this morning revealed our fate and ultimately, we should be happy with the outcome.
Granted, we will have to travel for the first leg but we avoided the dreaded possibility of playing Ukraine which will leave Irish fans feeling positive.
It is believed that the venue will most likely be Stadion Bilino polje, Zenica where Ireland will be without the services of the suspended John O’Shea and Jon Walters for the first leg, while Shane Long is still in doubt after he picked up an ankle injury in the Poland game.
Here are the finalised pairings from the draw:
Ukraine v Slovenia
Sweden v Denmark
Bosnia and Herzegovina v Ireland
Norway v Hungary
