🏆 Last night 🇮🇪 Shamrock Rovers won the 6th league title in last 7 years. We currently have them projected to skip 🔵 UCL Q1 and start in Q2 via title holder rebalancing, as one of the two highest ranked teams in Q1. For that to materialize, they need Slovan Bratislava 🇸🇰 and Qarabag 🇦🇿 both NOT to win domestic leagues. Rovers 🇮🇪 are very likely to be seeded in Q2 and would be positioned very well to secure league phase football next summer. If they need to start from Q1, they will certainly be seeded there as well. 👉 Full preview, projections and scenarios for 2027/28 UEFA season available at football-md.com/qualifier-pr…

St Patrick’s Athletic manager Stephen Kenny has hit out at the FAI’s fixture scheduling in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division title race. Kenny said the fact that his side have gone 27 days without playing a game shows a lack of respect for the club. Second-placed St Pat’s face Shelbourne tomorrow night. 📺 Watch Pat's vs Shels on Virgin Media Two and Play from 19:30.
