CORRY Evans and Northern Ireland will face hosts France or Wales in the round of 16 at Euro 2016 after they were confirmed as one of the four best third-placed teams.

Northern Ireland lost their final Group C game 1-0 to reigning world champions Germany earlier today.

But Czech Republic's 2-0 loss to Turkey in Group D tonight means Michael O'Neill's men are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages.

Rovers midfielder Evans played 84 minutes of the defeat to Germany at the Parc des Princes.
