St Joseph's v Shamrock Rovers LIVE updates from Europa Conference League
It's not that long ago that Shamrock Rovers were breaking Irish footballing records in Europe, by progressing to the last-32 of the Europa Conference League. And they were just a penalty shootout away from making it even further, after a historic league phase campaign. The Hoops are back in action on Thursday evening in Gibraltar, where they face St Joseph's in the second qualifying round of the Conference League. Hoping to emulate - or even go one step better than - last year's heroics, Stephen Bradley's men must do it the hard way this time around. Even though they were given a bye into the second round, after Drogheda United were booted out, they cannot rely on the champions route this year and only have one opportunity to progress. Stay tuned for live updates as they kick off their 2025/26 European campaign... 16:34 Mark McCadden You can check out all you need to know about this evening's game, including streaming info, here. 16:27 Mark McCadden The Shamrock Rovers substitutes today are: Lee Steacy, Aaron McEneff, Sean Kavanagh, Darragh Nugent, Gary O'Neill, Cian Barrett, Cory O'Sullivan, Jack Byrne, Michael Noonan, Victor Ozhianvuna, John McGovern. 16:26 Mark McCadden ... and Stephen Bradley has named a strong starting-11 to face St Joseph's in Gibraltar.

Qarabag lessons can aid Shelbourne's European league phase ambitions, says star
Shelbourne captain Mark Coyle reckons the harsh lessons learned on Wednesday night against Qarabag can help the club's league phase qualification ambitions. The Reds are all but out of Champions League contention after the concession of two late goals in the first-leg at Tolka Park saw them slump to a 3-0 defeat. For much of the second-half, the League of Ireland champions were on the front-foot and were chasing a goal to cancel out Leandro Andrade's 12th minute opener. However, they were hit by two sucker punches inside the final nine minutes, as the Azeri side capitalised on a couple of lapses. With two more opportunities to come to make league phase football, in the Europa League and Conference League, Coyle believes the Reds will be stronger for their exposure to the European regulars. 'There's a lot of learnings, and we have to improve, we know where we have to improve, but there's also a lot of positives from tonight and we have to look at them as well,' he said. 'I definitely think (confidence) is a part of it, yeah. It's not showing too much respect, really going at it from the first minute, especially here at home when you have that crowd behind you, the roar there at the start. 'I suppose they are a well-versed team in Europe, and you can see that in some of the things they did in slowing the game down. 'There are also learnings that you can take from it, especially going away from home, because you know it's like two different games usually. 'So there are a lot of learnings, but we should be taking confidence from it when you look at some of the performances and the patterns of play, that we can go toe-to-toe with these teams. But we have to brush up on certain areas.' Click this link or scan the QR code to receive the latest League of Ireland news and top stories from the Irish Mirror.

Asked if Wednesday's game would help with the rest of Shelbourne's European run, Coyle replied: 'Yeah, exactly. And it's making sure whatever we learn from tonight, we do it next week. We have to go (to Baku for the second-leg) and try to win a game. 'If it's not 3-0… look, there's no denying, it's going to be a tough, tough ask. But we have to go out there and do what we can and make sure we put in a good performance and represent the club in the right way.' Shels could have scored before Qarabag's opener. Veteran defender Sean Gannon hit the upright in the sixth minute. But the Azeri champions were an attacking threat throughout the first-half. So when Coyle and his teammates pinned them back inside their own half for much of the second-half, the Tolka Park faithful felt an equaliser was on the cards. To end up on the wrong end of a three-goal defeat was a real gut-punch. 'Definitely disappointment,' Coyle said, when asked for his feelings at the full-time whistle. 'I think in the second half we had a real go, you could see that in the chances we created. 'We had chances to equalise and I felt if anybody was on the ropes it was probably them at that stage. But that's the difference isn't it? That's European football. They got a few chances and they absolutely punished us. 'We're obviously disappointed with the overall result, but there's a lot of positives also to take out of it, especially for the next few games coming up."
