Larne face Slovenian outfit Olimpija on Thursday night as they go in search of their first ever European points.

It will be their first match under new manager Nathan Rooney.

A gallant effort in Belfast saw them fall just short on matchday three, going down 2-1 to Swiss side St Gallen.

That was a much improved effort on a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Shamrock Rovers at Windsor Park.

Olimpija will be a mean opposition however, with the Ljublana side having beaten LASK and HJK Helsinki this campaign.

They also sit atop the domestic league, having only been beaten once in 16 Prva Liga games.
