Larne’s crucial Uefa Conference League play-off second leg against Gibraltar’s Lincoln Red Imps will be broadcast live on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app.

The return leg at Inver Park will be played on Thursday, 29 August with kick-off at 20:00 BST.

Tiernan Lynch’s side are aiming to become the first Irish League team to reach the group stage of a major European competition.

Irish Premiership champions Larne are a goal down in the tie having lost 2-1 in Thursday's first leg which was played in Estadio Algarve in Faro, Portugal.

Matty Lusty scored a brilliant opener for Larne but goals from Kike Gomez and Imps midfielder Joe gave the Gibraltar side a slender advantage.

With Larne's domestic fixture schedule having been revised to help them prepare for the play-off, the Inver Park side have yet to play a league game in the new campaign.

While disappointed with the defensive lapses that led to the Imps' two goals in Faro, Lynch said he hopes his players take confidence from an improved second-half showing ahead of the second leg.
