    Wales manager Chris Coleman, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm happy, we know what Belgium are capable of, I'm positive but they will be tough games. The biggest concern is ourselves and the amount of times we can field our best team.

    "Bosnia and Belgium are two strong teams, there are no mugs in the group and there will be no easy games. We are not going into it targeting third, we have to win as many games as we can."

    Any mathematicians out there? I found it incredible that the two sets of nations which had to be kept apart for political reasons were initially drawn in the same group - Spain and Gibraltar and Armenia and Azerbaijan. What are the chances of that?

    Pat Nevin's feeling confident then. Maybe he makes a good point? A difficult group on paper, but if everyone beats each other then it means nobody gets away from Scotland...

    "I think most Scots will be quite happy, Germany will go through but Georgia, Poland and the Republic of Ireland will take points off each other. It sounds tough, but they are teams that Scotland are on a level with.

    "Wales should at least be comfortable with getting third place, but maybe they will be pushing Bosnia-Herzegovina."

    I sense Wales might fancy their chances of progression while Northern Ireland will find it tough but they do have a chance if they can post a few good results early on.

    What did you make of that then? I reckon England will be happy with their draw but Scotland have got a bit of a stinker. Is that the hardest group of them all? Remember, the top two automatically qualify for the Euro 2016 finals alongside the best third-placed finisher. The other third-place finishers will compete in play-offs.
