The draw for the Euro 2020 play-offs was completed at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Friday morning, with 16 teams discovering their fate.

We already know 20 of the 24 qualified nations heading to next summer's European Championship, with each of four play-off 'paths' producing another after two semi-final ties and a subsequent final.

In Path A, Scotland will meet Israel in a one-legged semi-final at Hampden Park on March 26 for the right to face either Norway or Serbia in the final, with that latter clash set to be away from home.

Scotland took on Israel twice in 2018 as part of the inaugural Uefa Nations League, losing 2-1 away and winning 3-2 on home soil.

Elsewhere, Northern Ireland were already guaranteed to meet Bosnia-Herzegovina in the semi-finals as part of Path B, while they could yet play the Republic of Ireland in the final, with Mick McCarthy's side in action on the road against Slovakia first.

That match, should it come to pass, would take place at Windsor Park in Belfast, with Northern Ireland guaranteed a home final should they win in Bosnia.

In Path D, Georgia will face Belarus and North Macedonia battle Kosovo, while in Path A Iceland take on Romania and Bulgaria battle Hungary.

In addition to the play-off draw, Friday's event also saw it decided that Denmark will host Russia in Copenhagen in Euro 2020 Group B.

They will be joined in that group by Pot 1 Belgium and either Wales or major tournament debutants Finland from Pot 4.

The full Euro 2020 draw will be made in Bucharest, Romania on November 30.
