Worthington Plots Fixtures Wish

Northern Ireland boss Nigel Worthington is busy putting together his ideal schedule ahead of the Euro 2012 fixtures meeting in Belgrade on March 8.

The meeting sees the fixtures finalised for the qualifying campaign, which sees Northern Ireland face Italy, Serbia, Slovenia, Estonia and Faroe Islands.

Worthington said: "I'm going to work out a format that I think would suit us before we go to the meeting

"You've got to be on your toes during the negotiations and remain strong."

He added: "I really enjoyed the last fixture meeting - it was the first time I'd been involved and it was a fantastic experience.

"I will have a clear idea in my mind of what I would like when I go there but so will the five other managers in the group."

Northern Ireland's next game is a friendly against Albania in Tirana on March 3.
