There is a possibilty that Shamrock Rovers could draw either of Celtic or Rangers in the final Europa League Qualifying Round.
Obviously their chances of emerging victorious over 2 legs against either of these sides is fairly remote. Wouldn't it be great to see Scottish born and former Brechin City player Gary Twigg score the winner against one of these giants of Scottish Football.
So who would Shamrock Rovers fans (and all other Irish Football fans as well )like to see Rovers come up against.
Celtic or Rangers?
Rovers v Celtic or Rangers

Not a Rovers fan, but i would say Celtic. If they got Rangers, the chances are the home leg wouldn't even be played in this country.

Cop on. Its a genine question.
A lot of League of Ireland supporters would follow Celtic as well so while they would like to see Rovers do well they probably wouldn't like to see Celtic be knocked out (even though it is highly unlikely Rovers would beat Celtic over two legs)!!!
And theres no need for me to go into the reason why ALL League of Ireland fans would love to see Shamrock Rvs knock Rangers out
If i was on the wind up surely i would have posted it on the overly sensitive to the point of paranoia Nordie board .

Celtic. I'm a Celtic fan but would love to see Rovers or any LOI club progress in Europe. However it'd be a good pay day for Rovers if they drew Celtic, if they drew Rangers it could be more trouble than it's worth.
Mind you it would be great to put Rangers out and of the two Rangers are on the slide and would be the easier to beat from Rovers viewpoint.

Actually on second thoughts I hope Shamrock Rovers draw Rangers and put them out - could easily happen.
Rangers under Ally McCoist are become farcical. Walter Smith kept them ticking over, over the last few years, they are very vulnerable now that Smith is gone.

I personally would prefer to see the Rovers play Rangers. Couldn't see Rangers loosing to them but from a Football perspective we have two cracking matches .
I couldn't see the Gardai allowing Rangers fans travel to Dublin for the Home match so i would imagine it would be moved to England.
Probably Tranmere Rvs ground like when Shelbourne played Rangers a few years ago
