League of Ireland title holders Shamrock Rovers take on Ludogorets of Bulgaria in their Champions League second qualifying round, second leg this week.

“Hopefully going into November and the new year. Bradley and his wife Emma launched “Josh’s Shave Your Head Challenge” last week, as their eight-year-old son is currently undergoing treatment for an illness in Crumlin Children’s hospital. The game will not be shown live on terrestrial TV but will be available to stream on LOITV and is available to purchase at a cost of €7.

Shamrock Rovers will face Ludogorets at home. The teams will meet in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Looking forward to the Bulgarian ...

After a disappointing away performance against Ludogorets (0:3), Shamrock Rovers returned to their home ground to face Drogheda United. The team didn't perform at their best in the 25th round of the Irish championship. Ludogorets also played a match in the local championship after playing in the Champions League qualifiers. Shamrock Rovers will face Ludogorets at home.

Still, the Hoops can take plenty of heart and encouragement from their brilliant performance as they drop into the Europa League next week. Until the tank ...

Rovers were being fuelled by their sense of ambition and Towell was just a yard wide with a shot on the half-volley before the break. And he had a leading role in the opening goal that was coming Off the bench in Bulgaria, Burke helped change the dynamic of the Rovers performance and he picked up where he left off with a start here. But the non-stop efforts of their Rovers team was the perfect tonic to mask that frustration, only to see the players fall just short as they bowed out. But as the game wore on, and with Rovers piling on relentless pressure, they looked capable of imploding. But the sense of hope was short lived as Ludogorets, in a rare foray deep into Rovers territory, scored as the game ticked into injury-time.

Despite a home victory over Ludogorets, Shamrock Rovers are now bound for the Europa League qualifier.

It felt like the tie could be decided by how Stephen Bradley used his bench. Every player was switched on, but Andy Lyons looked particularly sharp down the left. The onslaught was only beginning. Rovers survived and came again with Lyons turning back onto his right foot to drop a cross on Burke’s head that Padt saved one-handed, only for Aaron Greene to bury the rebound – 1-0, 20 minutes gone and Tallaght was buzzing. Rovers were their usual selves on their Tallaght turf, in stark contrast to last Tuesday’s collapse in Razgrad, with Sean Hoare composed at the heart of a three-man defence despite filling the role normally nailed down by the injured Pico Lopes. Eighteen-year-old Aidomo Emakhu, in a repeat of last year’s winner against Teuta of Albania, set up a grandstand finish by blasting Rovers second goal only for Cauly Souza to settle the tie in injury-time.

Maybe it's just as well that killer third goal in Bulgaria last week didn't prove decisive for Shamrock Rovers...

That was one of two interval changes but it didn’t alter the abundance of needle in the game, for Ludogorets lost a player within six minutes. Braga are willing to pay €2m for Bernard Tekpetey but the winger was fortunate not to see red approaching the break when he concluded his mazy run by lunging into Gary O’Neill. Rather wisely, he didn’t appear for the second half. A needless concession of a corner by Sean Hoare triggered three in a row and from the last, captain Anton Nedyalkov rose unmarked at the near post to plant a header which Alan Mannus pushed away. Blackpool target Andy Lyons kickstarted the move by advancing from left wing-back to ping in a cross that found Burke unattended. His low drive whistled past the post with the Dutch stopper beaten. Graham Burke, into the team for Rory Gaffney, led the way, almost springing the offside trap within three minutes.
