Hungarian champions Ferencvaros take on Irish league leaders Shamrock Rovers on Thursday over in Budapest with the Irish side looking to qualify for their first major European competition in ten years while Ferencvaros looks to rebound off being bounced out of the Champions League by Azerbaijani side Qarabag last week.
The two sides have never met in Eur opean competition previously but shots have already been fired prior to this first meeting with Ferenvaros' sporting director calling Shamrock Rovers the inferior side who play a dour “British style of physical football”, which hasn't gone down too well with fans and supporters of the South Dublin club.
The situation at Dublin airport continues to go on with not only a backlog of travelers and flights getting cancelled, but also the army called in at points to manage the crisis.
