Johnny Kenny scored a second half equaliser as Shamrock Rovers earned a 1-1 draw away to Rapid Vienna.
Rovers are unbeaten after four matches in the competition, sitting in 10th place with eight points from four matches.
The domestic campaign is over but Rovers are still going strong on the continent despite being pipped for the League of Ireland title by Shelbourne.
Kenny is in his second season on loan to the Dublin club and getting the sort of game time and competition needed to develop his career after arriving at Celtic in January 2022 as an 18-year-old from Sligo Rovers.
???? Johnny Kenny scored to earn Shamrock Rovers a point away at Rapid Vienna in the UEFA Conference League tonight.

According to UEFA Kenny has scored three Conference League goals in 336 minutes of action alongside 14 attempts on goal and a passing accuracy rate of 84%.
It is the sort of profile that would attract the attention of Celtic with a report in the Daily Mail suggesting that the hoops are looking for an emerging third striker.
Playing time would be limited behind Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah but it is an area of the team that Brendan Rodgers has discussed.
Next up for Rovers in the Conference League is a home match on December 12 against Bosnian side Borac before an attractive tie away to Chelsea seven days later.
Well done to The Wee Hoops Fae Dublin – Sitting ninth no less !!!
