Linfield boss David Healy has warned Hearts to be careful what they wish for after being paired with them or FC Zurich in Europe.

The Jambos will play the winners of the Europa League third qualifying round fixture in the playoff round. The first leg takes place tonight, with Linfield hosting the Swiss champions at Windsor Park before heading to Switzerland next week.

The victors will visit Tynecastle on Thursday, August 25 after hosting the Gorgie Boys on August 18. Robbie Neilson reacted to the draw by saying he fancied his team’s chances against either.

A win over two legs would see them into the group stage, while defeat would mean dropping into the same round in the Europa Conference League.
