Linfield boss David Healy admits the gulf between the two Irish leagues is ‘big’ after another European victory for a League of Ireland side.

Shamrock Rovers dished out a 4-1 hiding to Larne in last year’s Conference League and at the same Windsor Park venue, Shelbourne completed a 5-1 aggregate victory over his side.
