Clean sheet will do nicely for Sligo boss Coleman

Sligo Rovers are on the brink of one of the biggest achievements in the club’s history. Last season’s FAI Cup winners lead Norwegian giants Rosenborg 2-1 ahead of tonight’s Europa League second qualifying round second leg at The Showgrounds.

If John Coleman’s charges can avoid defeat — the visitors need to at least score two goals and win — Rovers will get through a second successive round in Europe, something never before achieved by the north-west outfit.

Sligo boss John Coleman, appointed in mid-June as Ian Baraclough’s replacement and unbeaten in five of his six games so far, wants his side to be on the offensive in front of an attendance that is expected to be close to 4,000.
