KEEPER Michael McGovern hopes Northern Ireland can grab their chance to reach Euro 2016.

The Accies star has been named in the squad to face Hungary as Michael O'Neil's side begin their qualification bid.

McGovern said: "The performances have been really good. There's more chance of qualifying in this campaign - the top two go through and maybe the third and we're in a reasonable group. I don't see any reason why we can't qualify.

"Usually when we play bigger teams we do better - last time we beat Portugal at home and drew with them away. It was against the lesser nations we didn't get the results."
