Hoops real keen to make a point

HAVING disappointed at home against Rubin Kazan, given Spurs a big scare at White Hart Lane and run PAOK close in Thessalonika, Shamrock Rovers face the Greeks tonight in Tallaght with the consensus being this could be their best chance of getting at least a point on the board in the group stages of the Europa League.

But Hoops boss Michael O’Neill urged caution ahead of a match which is expected to draw a crowd of around 7,500 to Tallaght Stadium, 500 of whom will be travelling fans.

“They don’t have the glamour of Spurs or the financial clout of Kazan, but they are unbeaten in the group so I wouldn’t say they are the weaker of the three teams or anything like that,” said O’Neill of PAOK.
