Vinny Perth says the abolition of the away goals rules means his Dundalk side will adopt an adventurous approach against Levadia Tallinn on Thursday.

A win over two legs against the Estonians would set up a clash with Vitesse from the Netherlands in the third qualifying round of the Uefa Conference League, a shot at reaching the group stage playoffs in the competition’s inaugural season. Dundalk have twice in the past five years reached the group stages of the higher-profile Europa League, grossing €14m along the way, and they’ll have good memories of those heady days when returning to Tallaght Stadium.
