BBC Sport NI looks at Gibraltarian side Lincoln Red Imps, who stand between Irish Premiership champions Larne and the Uefa Conference League group stage.
Tjay De Barr is one of Lincoln Red Imps' dangermen while Lee Casciaro is a club legendDisappointment has reigned for Irish Premiership clubs in Europe this summer, with Linfield, Crusaders and Cliftonville all falling at their respective first hurdles, but Larne have the chance to break new ground over the next week.
But having breathed new life into their campaign by beating Kosovon side Ballkani in the third round of the Conference League qualifiers, they are 180 minutes away from potentially blazing a trail for Irish League sides in Europe. Their encounter with Celtic's Old Firm rivals Rangers wasn't as memorable, however, as they lost 5-0 in 2020-21 Europa League qualifying.
They found the going tough in Group F, losing all six of their games to Copenhagen, PAOK and Slovan Bratislava and ending with a minus-15 goal difference, but it was still a monumental achievement for the club. Larne are familiar with St Joseph's too, of course, having lost 1-0 on aggregate to them in the 2022 Conference League qualifiers.Their squad, which trains four times a week, boasts an interesting mix of youth and experience.
Like Jordan and Andrew, Ibrahim has been capped by Ghana and while he was part of their 2010 World Cup squad, he did not feature in the Black Stars' run to the quarter-finals.
