Larne take on Shamrock Rovers at Windsor Park on Thursday in the UEFA Conference League (5.45pm kick-off)
Larne boss Tiernan Lynch has urged rival Irish League fans to back his team in Thursday's European showdown with Shamrock Rovers.
The 'North vs South' fixture has garnered plenty of attention leading up to kick-off, with many fans on both sides of the border looking at the game as a barometer of where the two leagues stand against each other.READ NEXT: Mark Allen happy with NI Open start despite 'things going on in background'"I think it is a necessity that Irish League fans get behind us. I think they should be looking at this," he said during Wednesday's press conference.
Shamrock Rovers may look at Thursday's European tie as a distraction to their own title ambitions. With two games remaining in their season, Stephen Bradley's men sit just two points off the top. "They have been in this position before, so I don't think there will be too many of their players going in tomorrow night thinking about Dundalk on Monday night. Their concentration will be that next 90 minutes," he said.
