Bohemians this morning found out their reward if they beat Halmstads in the Champions League second round will be a third-round tie against Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova or Belgian champions Anderlecht.
Fresh from their first-round victory over Levadia Maardu, Bohs will surely not be overly intimidated by their path before them, and a first Irish appearance in the Champions League group phases does not appear impossible.
If Bohs fail to make it, Irish eyes will probably be on Celtic.But Martin O'Neill's men have been set a stern task for their tournament debut - they are paired with 1997 winners Ajax Amsterdam.
Neighbours Rangers will, if they defeat Slovenia's Maribor in the second round, take on Turkish champions Fenerbahce.
Gerard Houllier will be happy with Liverpool's draw.The Reds will play either FC Haka of Finland or Israel's Maccabi Haifa.
