Kenny Shiels' side travel to Skopje later today (Tuesday) for the first of a double header against North Macedonia.

Already, they have been impressive in their performances in Group 3 - having won two games and drawn one with the highly-rated Austria.

But while they go into this game as underdogs, Shiels is cautioning against any complacency.

"We know that North Macedonia will be very difficult opponents, so we’ve got to go there and fight for everything,” he said.
