BBC Radio 5 liveFormer Northern Ireland midfielder Danny Wilson at Windsor Park: "Sometimes, it's about getting the win, and Northern Ireland have done it. Michael O'Neill will be delighted with that. I don't they deserved the scare they got at the end. Northern Ireland managed the game very well, by and large, and they deserved the three points."

BBC Radio 5 liveFormer Northern Ireland midfielder Danny Wilson at Windsor Park: "By the time the Romania game comes around in June, I think the pressure will be on them rather than Northern Ireland. I hope they can see out this game to give themselves a platform for that one. If they can do that, then who knows what can happen?"

Will in London: People criticising the absence of British clubs in Europe at the moment but the home nations seem to be doing well. Isn't international football meant to be a step up from Europe?
