Drogheda eye Euro upset

Mick Cooke is planning a major upset in the Swedbank Stadium tonight as his Drogheda United side face Malmo in the second leg of their Europa League Cup first qualifying round tie (agg 0-0, 6pm Irish time).

The Boynesiders, who held the Swedish giants to a 0-0 draw in Tallaght Stadium last week, trained at the impressive 25,000-capacity arena last night, with no fresh injury worries.

The game has attracted little attention in Malmo, with many of their fans expecting a big win, but Cooke believes his team — who will be cheered on by about 150 travelling supporters — won’t be found wanting.
