Stephen Bradley admits his Shamrock Rovers side showed Slovan Bratislava too much respect last week as they chase a 2-0 deficit in Tuesday’s Uefa Champions League second leg.

A lapse in each half of the first qualifying round opening leg cost Rovers dearly as the Slovakian champions take a commanding lead in the rematch at Tallaght Stadium.
