Michael O'Neill: 'Northern Ireland qualification would be magnificent'

By , Reporter
Michael O'Neill says that it would be a "magnificent achievement" if Northern Ireland qualify for Euro 2016.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has said that it would be a "magnificent achievement" if Northern Ireland qualify for Euro 2016.

Yesterday's 3-1 victory over Faroe Islands saw Northern Ireland move to the top of Group F, and a win against Hungary on Monday will confirm their qualification for the finals next summer.

"It is long overdue," O'Neill told BBC Sport.

"This group has really developed over the past couple of years and it would be a magnificent achievement. The prize is so great that the players' response has been just superb."

Northern Ireland have not qualified for a major tournament since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
