Here’s who Ireland can face in the Euro 2016 play-offs after the qualifier results

None of them look easy

Who do we want?

Ireland will face one of Sweden, Ukraine, Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina in the play-offs for Euro 2016 following the final round of qualifying matches played this evening.

The Boys in Green would have required a favourable series of results to be seeded for the play-off draw but will instead have to face off against one of four fairly tricky-looking opponents.

A late winner for Turkey against Iceland means that they will qualify as the best third-placed team, Croatia also sealed automatic qualification with a win over Malta, while the Netherlands will not even make the play-offs after losing to the Czech Republic.

The play-off draw will take place on Sunday, with both legs of the play-off to take place next month.
