COMING into this European fixture, Shamrock Rovers are a wounded animal having just lost out on the League of Ireland Premier Division title.
In Europe, they are having a good season by all standards, being unbeaten after two games against APOEL Nicosia (0-0 draw) and their neighbours from the north Larne (4-1 win).
On Thursday night, they face Welsh side The New Saints who are in their first season of European football and performing well, winning 2-0 against Astana in their last outing.
Both sides are coming into this game on the back of wins, with The New Saints coming off the back of a seven-game winning streak, with their latest coming away to Barry.
Shamrock Rovers’ win at the weekend was more bitter than sweet, as, despite their 2-1 win against Waterford, Shelbourne’s win against Derry City meant that Damien Duff’s side took the title and dashed Shamrock Rovers’ hopes of five domestic titles in a row.
