The latest Sky Sports Now podcast focuses on the Home Nations and Ireland's hopes for Euro 2016, with the first game of the tournament now just three weeks away.

We welcomed Paul Ince, Kit Symons, Nigel Worthington and Keith Andrews into the studio to preview the tournament - together they have 190 caps between them.

Ince played for England over 50 times and in three major tournaments for his country. Listen out for his assessment of Roy Hodgson's provisional 26-man squad.

Wales enjoyed a magnificent qualifying campaign - and Symons will travel to France as part of their backroom staff. He told us that their team ethos will go a long way, but have they got enough to reach the knockout stages?

Northern Ireland's players and fans prepare to enjoy their first major tournament since 1986. Nigel Worthington played then - and managed his country between 2007 and 2011. We asked him if a lack of top-flight players will harm their chances of progressing.

The Republic of Ireland needed a play-off to qualify - but that hasn't stopped their former midfielder Keith Andrews from expecting big things from Martin O'Neill's side.

Spain may be the holders, but they are only third favourites with the bookmakers to lift the trophy. Find out who our guests tipped to be tournament winners.
