The draws for the Third Round of the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers were made on Friday in Nyon, Switzerland. Shamrock Rovers played out a 0-0 draw against Ekranas in Tallaght on Tuesday and should they progress, they will face Belgium side Anderlecht.

 

In the Europa Cup on Thursday night, Sligo Rovers suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Spartak Trnava whilst St Pats narrowly missed out on victory, conceding in the last minute of the game, to draw 1-1 against Siroki Brijeg.

 

If Sligo overcome Trnava, they will face Steaua Bucuresti of Romania, whilst St Pat's potential opponents will be Hannover 96 of Germany.
