Shamrock Rovers' opponents FC Shkupi vow revenge for 'cheap games'

CHEAP GAMES: Shannon Airport. Picture: Brendan Gleeson

FC Shkupi claim they have extra motivation to beat Shamrock Rovers in tonight’s Europa League clash after the North Macedonians say they were forced to use Shannon Airport for their charter flight.

Pressure across the aviation industry this summer has caused havoc with travel plans for Irish sides this season, with scarcity of charters causing Rovers and St Patrick’s Athletic to use scheduled flights in previous rounds. Rovers were also forced use Shannon rather than their local Dublin airport for the first round trip to Malta.
