Sligo Rovers secured a historic victory last night as they beat Scottish Premiership side Motherwell to advance to the third qualifying round of European competition for the first time. 

The Bit O' Red held a one-goal advantage from the first leg in Scotland last week, meaning they had the valuable lead to cling onto at the Showgrounds.
