Stephen Kenny’s 50th match as a manager in Europe promises to be a milestone if he steers St Patrick’s Athletic to a playoff and a guaranteed €1.28m of Uefa prize-money.

Hurdling one round – as FAI Cup holders they gained a bye to the second round – set up a clash with FK Sabah and they take a 1-0 advantage to Baku (5pm, Thursday).
