It's game one of two in the Champions League as Shamrock Rovers host Hibernians. This is a 1st Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Hibernians, who are travelling more than 3400 kilometers to play this game.
These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they played only four days ago in the Premier Division. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Finn Harps.
