Shelbourne are going to find out who they could play when the draw is made today at 1.00pm

There's an article on football365 (http://www.football365.com/news/premiership_news/story_120306.shtml) , the most interesting aspect being their reference to who Rangers and Man United would like to get...

The dream tie for all concerned would be a trip to Dublin to face Shelbourne, who put themselves in with a chance of advancing by grabbing two precious away goals in a 3-2 defeat to highly-rated Croatian outfit Hajduk Split.

A 1-0 win at Tolka Park next Wednesday would be enough to see the Irish side through and for United fan and Shelbourne skipper Owen Heary, it would represent the opportunity of a lifetime.

"To get the chance to play at Old Trafford against the likes of Roy Keane and Ryan Giggs would be a dream come true and for the fans in Ireland the prospect of United, or any of the big teams, coming over to play in a competitive match would be incredible,'' he said, "just thinking about it is incredible.''

I could be wrong but weren't Deportivo waiting in the next round for an Irish team before? Think it was Bohs or Shels. But they got knocked out before they could meet them.

It was last year. Depor beat Rosenborg on penalties after Rosenborg beat Bohs.
