Former Euros winner Olsen says Northern Ireland can reach finals

Faroe Islands manager Lars Olsen believes Northern Ireland can reach Euro2016.

Olsen was the Denmark captain when they defied the odds to lift the trophy in 1992.

He said: "The results in the group have been good for Northern Ireland and maybe they can qualify.

"In Hungary they were very good and at home they play very well.

"Greece is still the strongest team in this group, despite a slow start, but to have six points already is good for Northern Ireland - you cannot take that start away from them."
