The NIFL Premiership side lost the first leg 2-1, but fought back to earn a 3-2 aggregate victory this evening.
Scottish youngster Kieran Offord gave the hosts the lead in the 22nd minute, before an Ari Olsen own goal shortly before half-time put them ahead in the tie.
David Healy’s men held on thereafter to set up another encounter with Shels, who beat them 2-1 on aggregate in last month’s Champions League first-round qualifier.
