Chris Baird expects 'very open' Euro 2016 qualifying group

West Bromwich Albion player Chris Baird expects Northern Ireland's European Championship qualifying group to be a "very open one, with no big-hitters".

"The World Cup campaign was disappointing but we are trying to eradicate the mistakes we made, and we have a good squad who are working well on the training pitch.

"Reaching a major championships is the ultimate thing for an international player and this could be the last chance for the likes of myself, Gareth (McAuley) and Aaron (Hughes).
