Larne carry the hopes of the entire Irish League when they go into battle with Iberia 1999 in Tbilisi tomorrow evening (5pm). Having qualified for the Champions League as Irish Premiership winners, Larne have benefited from the Champions’ Path, which effectively offers Gary Haveron’s team a safety net. Northern Ireland are in 50th place in the UEFA rankings, with Georgia hot on their heels in 51st position, so a win for Iberia 1999 would see Georgia leapfrog Northern Ireland into 50th spot. As for the tie itself, Iberia 1999 benefit from home advantage, which will negate a repeat of last week’s disastrous travel arrangements to Northern Ireland. The Georgian press feel Iberia 1999 have the edge in the tie and expect the home side to overcome Larne .
