Rovers lost 4-0 to PAOK in the first leg of their Europa League playoff so the Irish champions are expected to be rerouted to the Conference League. Qualification is worth at least €3.7 million.Shamrock Rovers look to keep home fires burning against Galway United “Having taken into consideration the exceptional circumstances that the fixtures between each leg for St Patrick Athletic is six days instead of the standard seven, the League of Ireland has postponed this Sunday’s fixture at Oriel Park and a new date will be announced in due course.”
“Some people think I’m complaining, I know more than anyone, I’ve been involved in more European games as a manager. Once you get to the group, get on with it. But we need help getting to the group, it’s hugely difficult for Irish clubs, we need all the support we can get.”
