Oh dear.

Northern Irish side Linfield have set up a potential Champions League second-round clash with Glasgow Celtic, following the draw for the preliminary rounds on Monday. Should Linfield get past their San Marino opponents LA Fiorita they will take on Brendan Rodgers' side, with the first leg taking place during the week of the 12th of July, the traditional Ulster Protestant celebrations in the North. https://twitter.com/McDonnellDan/status/876749968006148096 https://twitter.com/HoltChris/status/876750674066800640 https://twitter.com/kjgalvin93/status/876749828054818816 https://twitter.com/Rikos67_/status/876749718222712832 Elsewhere in the draw, League of Ireland champions Dundalk were drawn to face Norwegian side Rosenborg in their second round clash.
