Shamrock Rovers handed glamour tie in Europa League against AC Milan in Tallaght

Shamrock Rovers have been drawn at home to Italian giants AC Milan in the second round of the Europa League qualifiers.

Tallaght Stadium - albeit behind closed doors - will play host to the seven-time European Champions, whose line is led by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, taking on Stephen Bradley's Hoops.

League-leading Rovers triumphed 12-11 in a marathon penalty shootout win over Ilves Tampere of Finland in the first qualifying round, while Milan enter the competition at this stage.

Dundalk, who dropped into the secondary competition after their Champions League First Round loss to Celje, received a decidedly easier draw.

The reigning champions will head to tiny Andorra to play Inter Escaldes.
