Sligo Rovers are in action tonight in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.

Norwegian champions Molde, managed by former Man United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, have travelled to The Showgrounds to face Rovers in the first-leg of their crucial qualifier.

The game will also Solskjaer and Sligo boss Ian Baraclough reunited in opposite dugouts. Both managers took their UEFA A Licences together a number of years ago.

But in terms of intrigue on the pitch, if Baraclough does not opt for the once-free scoring Antony Elding up front, new signing David McMillan could start with fitness concerns surrounding Raffaele Cretaro and Danny North.

Sligo have not participated in the European Cup qualifiers since 1977, while Molde - winners of the last two Norwegian titles - reached the second qualifying round in last season's Champions League, narrowly falling to Swiss champions FC Basle.

Kick-off at the Showgrounds is at 6pm.

Later tonight, Celtic will face Belfast side Cliftonville in their qualifier.

Kick-off in Solitude is at 7.45pm.
