Derry City's reward for overcoming IFK Gothenburg in the Uefa Cup last night is an enticing clash with Scottish Cup finalists Gretna in the second qualifying round.

The Scottish first division outfit were denied a fairytale cup win by Hearts last season but earning a place in the Uefa Cup was a major consolation.

Now, their first European trip will be across the Irish Sea to the Brandywell where Derry, who were clinical in both performances against a highly-fancied Gothenburg side, will be quietly confident of extending their run in Europe.

Drogheda United, who saw HJK Helsinki in frantic contest at Dalymount Park last night, will again face Scandinavian opposition with Norway's FC Start standing between them and the next round.
