Well Done Shelbourne

So, as most people expected, Rangers will play CSKA Moscow next Tuesday after the Russian side beat Neftchi 2-0 in their champs cup qualifier.
The first leg is live on the BBC at the stupid time of 5.00pm. I might have to feign food poisoning about half three to make sure I'm up the house in time for kick off.
Story of the night though was victory for Shelbourne, the Irish League side who broke a 13 match 11 year old losing home run in Europe to beat Hajduk Split of Croatia 2-0, a mammoth result by their standards.
They will now face Spanish Giants Deportivo La Coruna in the next round in a tie expected to net the part timers 400 grand. So good for them eh?
