Last updated : 05 February 2008 By Tony Scholes

The game is expected to be played at Bohemian's home ground of Dalymount Park on Friday 15th February - and it is hoped full details will be confirmed in the next couple of days.

Bohemains have been winners of the League of Ireland on no fewer than nine occasions, the most recent of them being in 2003, and have often been involved in European competition.

They first played in the European Cup Winners Cup in 1971 against TJ Gottwaldov and their last appearance was in the Intertoto Cup in 2005 when they were beaten by KAA Gent.

Currently managed by Pat Fenlon they were under the management of former Burnley loan player Gareth Farrelly between 2005 and 2006, whilst former Carlisle boss Roddy Collins is also a former manager.

They play at Dalymount Park, a ground that used to be used for international football.
