- Captain full of belief his side can beat Bosnia in Sarajevo
- Davis will surpass Pat Jennings’ caps record on Thursday
Steven Davis has said Northern Ireland must draw on their “big game experience” to preserve hopes of reaching a second successive European Championship and mark his record-breaking 120th international cap in fitting style.
Ian Baraclough’s team face Bosnia and Herzegovina in Thursday’s play-off semi-final knowing a potential play-off final against the Republic of Ireland or Slovakia awaits at Windsor Park next month. Northern Ireland suffered painful defeat in their last play-off appearance when an outrageous penalty decision sent Switzerland to the 2018 World Cup finals at their expense. But Davis believes that blow in 2017 can be turned to Northern Ireland’s advantage in Sarajevo.
