A disappointing qualifying campaign saw the Northern Irish fall well short of Euro 2024, but a win against Denmark in their final Group H game at Windsor Park in November offered hope that the future could be much brighter.

There is some exciting young talent in O'Neill's ranks, including Liverpool star Conor Bradley, Sunderland duo Trai Hume and Daniel Ballard, and West Ham teenager Callum Marshall, and the former Stoke City boss wants use the friendlies against Romania and Scotland in the next week as a chance to test them against two teams that are heading to Euro 2024.

Thursday's hosts will be a tough test for Northern Ireland, having gone unbeaten as they finished top of a qualifying group that included the likes of Switzerland and Israel.

Edward Iordănescu's side are ramping up their preparations for Euro 2024 and have history on their side, having not lost to the visitors since 1994 – a run that stretches back five games.
