Former Northern Ireland international Warren Feeney has warned that Bulgaria can be dangerous opponents with their fresh approach. Bulgaria-based Feeney will be watching on closely when the two teams meet at Windsor Park in the World Cup qualifiers on Wednesday night.

They have since brought in new manager Yasen Petrov, who has a wealth of experience as coach in Bulgaria and China. Bulgaria also lost 2-0 against Italy – the same as Northern Ireland did – ahead of Wednesday’s Windsor Park clash but Feeney expects the new man to make an impact going forward.
