Foyle Sinn Fein MLA Martin McGuinness is in France to watch Northern Ireland take on Germany in a crucial European Championship clash this evening.
The Deputy First Minister said he was looking forward to the game which will kick off at 5.00pm at the Parc de Prince in Paris.
He will also attend the tomorrow’s clash between the Republic of Ireland and Italy.
A draw with the world champions would secure a place in the next round for Northern Ireland who go into the game boosted by a 2-0 victory over Ukraine, a win sealed by a late goal from former Derry City winger Niall McGinn (pictured).
Mr McGuinness has a good reason to support Northern Ireland after he drew Michael O’Neill’s side in the sweepstake draw at the Office of the First and Deputy First Minster.

Writing on Twitter beside a slip of paper saying 'Northern Ireland', Mr McGuinness at the time said: “Can you believe it!!! In the office draw just drew the favourites for the European Championship!!!"
