Shamrock Rovers Europa Conference League playoff against Flora Tallinn to be shown live on TV

Shamrock Rovers' playoff clash with Flora Tallinn will be shown on free-to-air TV.

The Hoops have announced that Virgin Media Television and RTE will broadcast the first and second-legs.

Thursday’s first-leg of the Europa Conference League encounter at the A Le Coq Arena in Estonia will be on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player from 4.45pm.

And RTE 2 and the RTE Player will show the home-leg in Tallaght on Thursday week, with a 7.45pm.

It is the first time this season that any of the League of Ireland club’s European games have been shown on national stations.

And that had been heavily criticised by Rovers manager Stephen Bradley who felt not enough was being done to showcase games.

A Shamrock Rovers statement read: “Whilst preparations were being put in place to offer a live stream of the games on club channel SRFC TV, the club is delighted that both games will now be available to the maximum potential viewership.

“We are delighted to have both Virgin Media Television and RTÉ TV partner with us in Europe.”
