Shamrock Rovers to host AC Milan as Europa League second qualifying round draw is made

Shamrock Rovers have been handed a glamour fixture in the Europa League second qualifying round against European heavyweights AC Milan.

The Serie A side will travel to Tallaght Stadium for a behind-closed-doors clash against Stephen Bradley's Hoops on September 17.

Rovers made it to the second round thanks to a Joey O'Brien winning penalty in a 13-12 shootout win over Ilves Tampere last Thursday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be among Milan's star-studded names heading to Tallaght, with fans unfortunately missing out on a chance to see the game in person due to Covid regulations.

Dundalk, meanwhile, have been handed a favourable draw away to Andorran minnows Inter Escaldes following their Champions League exit.

The Lilywhites were humbled by Slovenian champions NK Celje and have since switched managers - with Vinny Perth replaced by Filippo Giovagnoli.

Matt Doherty's first European action for Spurs will be a trip to take on Bulgian side Lokomotiv Plovdic.

The third qualifying round draw will be made tomorrow, with Dundalk and Rovers finding out their potential opponents if they can get past this stage.
