  We present near-IR imaging of a sample of the faint, hard X-ray sources
discovered in the 2001 Chandra ACIS-I survey towards the Galactic Centre (GC)
(Wang et al. 2002). These ~800 discrete sources represent an important and
previously undetected population within the Galaxy. From our VLT observations
of 77 X-ray sources, we identify candidate K-band counterparts to 75% of the
Chandra sources in our sample. The near-IR magnitudes and colours of the
majority of candidate counterparts are consistent with highly reddened stars,
indicating that most of the Chandra sources are likely to be accreting binaries
at or near the GC.
