Hoops to face Anderlecht - if they can defeat Ekranas

Shamrock Rovers will face Anderlecht in the third qualifying round of the Champions League if they can overcome Ekranas.

Shamrock Rovers will face RSC Anderlecht in the third qualifying round of the Champions League if they can overcome FK Ekranas in their second leg next weekend.

The sides drew 0-0 in the first leg at Tallaght on Tuesday night but if the Hoops can overcome the Lithuanian champions, they'll face a lucrative clash with the Belgian outfit.

Meanwhile, Celtic will play either HJK Helsinki or KR Reykjavik in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, while Motherwell face Greek side Panathinaikos.

Celtic were in the Champions section of the draw and will be at home in the first leg with Finnish title-holders HJK very likely to be their opponents after they won the first leg of their second qualifying round clash with KR 7-0 earlier this week.

Motherwell were unseeded in the draw and will face a stiff test against 20-time Greek champions Panathinaikos, with the first leg taking place at Fir Park.
