Spain enjoy easy Euro2016 group draw

Spain have enjoyed a comfortable group draw for the Euro2016 qualifiers.

Vicente Del Bosque's side were drawn in Group C alongside Ukraine, Slovakia, Belarus, Macedonia and Luxembourg.

Spain have not lost in a European Championship finals or qualifying match since losing to Sweden in October 2006, and won both Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 during a dominant spell which came either side of the 2010 World Cup triumph.

There was a twist to the draw as newcomers Gibraltar's name came out of the pot for Group C but, as UEFA has decided the two nations must be kept apart for political reasons, Gibraltar were moved to Group D where they will face Germany, Republic of Ireland, Poland, Scotland and Georgia.
