Stephen O’Donnell had a big role to play in a couple of historic European nights as a player. Now he needs another in his role as Dundalk head coach.

It was the Galwegian’s penalty in extra-time in Belgrade 12 years ago that helped Shamrock Rovers past Partizan to become the first ever Irish club to qualify for the Europe League group stages.
