On this week's the RTÉ Soccer Podcast, Anthony Pyne is joined by Graham Gartland, Barry Murphy, Alan Cawley and Rachel Graham as three League of Ireland clubs attempt to make really significant European breakthroughs.

Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers are in Conference League playoff action on Thursday, while Athlone Town are off to the Netherlands for the next stage of their journey in the women’s Champions League on Wednesday.

We’ll also look ahead to Heimir Hallgrimsson’s Republic of Ireland squad announcement for the World Cup qualifiers against Hungary and Armenia in a couple of week’s time, and reflect on all of the domestic action in the men's and women's Premier Divisions.
