Steven Davis believes Northern Ireland's magical run to Euro 2016 will give them all the incentive they need to qualify for next year's finals.
Michael O'Neill's side have their work cut out after being drawn in Group C with Germany and Holland, putting huge pressure on their opening two games at home to Estonia and Belarus.
But Northern Ireland captain Davis is hopeful of making a winning start to revive memories of three years ago when he led his country to the European Championship finals for the first time.
