HAPPY KYLE IS KEEN TO M CONTRIBUTIO

Kyle Lafferty believes the experience of qualifying for Euro 2016 will stand Northern Ireland in good stead in the coming months.

Michael O’Neill’s troops held their nerve to not only make it to France but top their qualifying group. And when the pressure was on to get results against Faroe Islands and Hungary two years ago they produced the goods and went on to write their name in the history books.

Fast forward to now and, while the scenario is slightly different with Germany almost certainly topping the group with Northern Ireland fighting it out for a play-off place, if anything the performances in the World Cup qualifying campaign have been even more convincing.
