CAPTAIN Ashley Williams is relishing the chance to celebrate with 34,000 fans at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight but he says qualifying for Euro 2016 is only the start for Wales.

Chris Coleman’s men lost 2-0 in Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday but Israel’s defeat to Cyprus means nobody could catch them in second place in the table.

And, while Williams and the whole squad partied long into the night in Zenica, the skipper admits his celebrations were tempered by a first loss of the campaign.

“I can’t wait to celebrate with our fans after the game, it should be a special night,” said Williams ahead of tonight’s final group match against Andorra.

“It’s nice that we have already qualified with a game to go and we can just enjoy it.

“The night didn’t quite go to plan in Bosnia,” he added. “I found it hard to celebrate because I felt a little bit annoyed about the game.”

And Williams says every member of the squad wants to play against Andorra despite the result being irrelevant.

“Lots of us have had bad nights playing for Wales so nobody wants to miss this one,” he said.

“It’s the same with talking to you lot,” he added, referring to journalists gathered at Monday’s press conference.

“There’s lots of time I didn’t want to talk to you but I wasn’t going to miss this today.”

Williams paid tribute to Coleman and former boss Gary Speed, as well as Wales kit man Dai Williams – the former Newport County player and manager – who died in February.

On Coleman he said: “He’s a great manager, he’s just himself. He’s honest and true.

“The players play for him. When we lose we feel like we’ve let him down and when we win we feel like we’ve done it for him.

“I want to thank him for the job he’s done.”

Williams added: “Speedo put a lot of things in place and he was definitely at the forefront of our minds at the weekend, he’s always somebody that we think about.

“And Dai Williams our kit man – we did it for both of them.

“We were sitting in the hotel telling stories after the game – both people massive for us.”

Now that qualification for France is done and dusted Williams is keen to ensure that Wales can build on the success.

“I think it’s important to say that it isn’t job done now,” he said.

“We need to make sure that this is the start for us and we build going forward and continue to qualify for major tournaments.

“It would be a shame if this is all we achieve with the players we’ve got.”
