n Shelbourne will continue their quest for Champions League glory tonight when they play host to Rosenborg in the first leg of their second qualifying round clash.
Manager Dermot Keely is determined that the Dubliners can build from their 2-1 aggregate win against Macedonian champions Sloga Jugomagnat in the first round, but admits this tie will be a real step up in class.
Rosenborg - champions of Norway for the last eight years - have been a virtual ever-present in the Champions League since defeating Kenny Dalglish's Blackburn Rovers in 1996.
nSCOTLAND'S top referee, Hugh Dallas, will come quickly into contact yet again in the new season with Celtic.
The Parkhead club was in conflict last season with Dallas, but he takes charge of their season opener on Sunday at Dundee United, which will be shown live on satellite television.
Meanwhile, the SFA have taken over the appointment for match officials at Premier League matches this season - the Scottish League officials carried out that task last season. The referees who take charge of Premier League matches have received a pay increase.
Agreement has been reached that they will get #310 per match, while last season they were on #250 a game.
nST JOHNSTONE chairman Geoff Brown has hit out against managerial moaners who have attacked the new-look 12-team SPL before a ball has been kicked.
Brown said: ''The new set-up is in place and we should be determined to make it a success. Managers tend to favour anything that makes their own lives easier. It's ridiculous the way some of them have been carrying on.''
nInternational manager Craig Brown watched a superb 2-0 win from the young Scots in the under-19 four nations tournament in Ireland last night.
The Scots took the lead after only three minutes through Sunderland striker Kevin Kyle before Manchester United's Michael Stewart doubled the advantage in the second half.
