The Steelmen will face KS Flamurtari in the first leg of the second round next Thursday after disposing of Llanelli.

Jim Gannon's men recovered from a shock 1-0 defeat in his first game in charge to overcome the Welsh side 3-0 at Parc Y Scarlets to set up the clash with the Albanian outfit.

However, club bosses do not want fans to make the trip to the region after consulting with the Foreign Office and police.

A statement on the club website read: "Fans should be aware that in the interests of safety and security, both the Foreign Office and Strathclyde Police have advised fans not to travel to Albania at all next week.

"As a result, the club will not be chartering a flight and would ask fans currently considering making the journey to seriously reconsider."
