  We present results from the first near-IR imaging of the weak X-ray sources
discovered in the Chandra/ACIS-I survey (Wang et al. 2002) towards the Galactic
Centre (GC). These ~800 discrete sources, which contribute significantly to the
GC X-ray emission, represent an important and previously unknown population
within the Galaxy. From our VLT observations we will identify likely IR
counterparts to a sample of the hardest sources, which are most likely X-ray
binaries. With these data we can place constraints on the nature of the
discrete weak X-ray source population of the GC.
