How to watch Conference League play-off first leg tie

Kilmarnock are back in European action in Denmark on Thursday when they face FC Copenhagen in the Conference League play-off round first leg.

Derek McInnes' side are one step away from reaching the Conference League group stage and the relative riches on offer that come with qualification for UEFA's third-tier competition.

They face a tough challenge against an established European outfit who defeated Manchester United in last season’s Champions League group stage although they needed penalties to get past Banik Ostrava last week.

Kilmarnock made it through to the play-off round following a 3-2 aggregate win over Norwegian outfit Tromso in the previous round. A 2-2 draw at Rugby Park, earned courtesy of an injury-time equaliser by youngster Bobby Wales, was followed by a 1-0 win in the away leg to set up a clash against the 15-times Danish champions.

What Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes said before the match

"Financially, the rewards for the club is off the scale really, for a club like ourselves to try and generate best part of £4million from a one-off tie. It’s unimaginable, really. We can’t earn that in Scotland in terms of prize money. So we’re under no illusions how difficult the task is going to be. They are a team who were performing in the Champions League last year. A lot of those players are still here, and while they’re struggling for their best form, this is still a huge, huge task for us to try and overcome this type of opponent. But we’re in the same competition, we’ve found ourselves against them, and it’s important that we try and be brave enough and courageous enough to try and take that on.”
