One of Dundalk's rewards for Europa League group stage qualification are games against Champions League regulars Zenit St Petersburg.

The Russian side are the toughest proposition in Dundalk's group which also features Netherlands' AZ Alkmaar and Israel's Maccabbi Tel Aviv.

But Zenit have been getting a bit of flak on Twitter for a tweet purportedly claimed to have been sent from their social media account and then hastily deleted.

However, given that tweets can be faked, one can never be 100% of that:   

Zenit St Petersburg tweeted this after drawing Dundalk, then quickly deleted it. Bunch of brats! #MonTheTown pic.twitter.com/m000Ax15mN
