Associate Icon with Custom Script

How can I associate an custom icon to a very small bash script I wrote?
Basically I would like it to show an icon in thunar/nautilus. The bash script calls a wine program and adds $1 after it so it can load the path of the file it needs to open.

Thanks

Create a desktop file with the executable pointing to your script. Save it in ~.local/share/applications.

I hope it works anyway.
