Paddy Mc Nair joined MLS side San Diego in January International friendly: Northern Ireland v Switzerland Venue: Windsor Park, Belfast Date: Friday, 21 Kick-off: 19: 45 GMT Coverage: Watch on BBC Northern Ireland & i Player; listen on BBC Radio Ulster & Sounds; live text coverage & in-play clips on the BBC Sport website & app Paddy Mc Nair says Northern Ireland's controversies with Switzerland are "in the past" before Friday's friendly between the sides. In a 2018 World Cup play-off first leg, Corry Evans was controversially penalised for a handball in the area, when the ball appeared to hit his shoulder, as Switzerland narrowly progressed to the finals. Then, in 2022 World Cup qualifying, defender Jamal Lewis was shown a second yellow card after taking too long over a throw-in as NI lost 2-0 in Geneva. "I suppose we just want to beat them, " said Mc Nair, who will wear the captain's armband at Windsor Park. "The one in 2018 with the handball, Corry, that hurt and then Jamal getting the two yellow cards in the last game was frustrating. "I think that's in the past. When you go into any game you want to win. "They have got a lot of different players and so have we, so I don't think we're going to be talking about that much.

The 29-year-old former Manchester United and Middlesborough defender says he would not have moved to America if it would have put his place in the Northern Ireland squad in jeopardy. "I've really enjoyed it, really enjoyed the football and everything about it, " he added. "Playing for Northern Ireland has always been very special for me. I'll definitely put on the green shirt for as long as I can. "When I was younger, I went to most of the games and I always loved coming to Windsor Park and I love playing for my country. " Mc Nair is the last remaining member of the Euro 2016 squad, and is now the most senior player in Michael O'Neill's current squad. He will wear the captain's armband on Friday, which has been rotated around the squad since the retirements of Jonny Evans and Steven Davis, and says he will try and "lead by example" in a young Northern Ireland squad. Friday's friendly with Switzerland and trip to Sweden on Tuesday will be preparation for Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifying campaign, which starts in September, and Mc Nair believes NI have the quality to make the finals in 2026. "We have a lot of talented players and with each campaign they are getting more experience, in the long run it is a very exciting squad, " he said. "I just hope we can qualify for the World Cup it would be amazing but there is a lot of hard work to get there.
