Niall McGinn has today been named in Michael O'Neil's Northern Ireland squad for the upcoming European Championships in France which begin in just under 2 weeks.

Niall- who has 42 caps for his country- is one of four SPFL Premiership players (including former Don, Josh Magennis) in the squad who will travel to France to take part in their first major tournament since the 1982 World Cup and make their first ever appearance at a European Championships.

The Northern Ireland fixtures in France are:

Poland v Northern Ireland
Sunday 12th June, 5pm

Ukraine v Northern Ireland
Thursday 16th June, 5pm

Northern Ireland v Germany
Tuesday 21st June, 5pm

Before they head to France they will face Slovakia in a friendly on Saturday 4th June

Niall came on as a 74th minute substitute in last night's friendly victory over Belarus at Windsor Park providing a cross that Will Grigg fired home 2 minutes from full time.

Congratulations Niall and good luck in France!
