Stephen Bradley feels Rovers can get past 'dangerous' Shkupi

Stephen Bradley is convinced that his Shamrock Rovers side have the quality and capability of beating Shkupi over two legs to progress to the next stage of the Europa League.

However, the Hoops boss acknowledges that his team must perform at their very best to get the better of a side that he labels "as dangerous as any faced in Europe".

The first leg of the Europa clash takes place at Tallaght Stadium tomorrow night, with the away leg in against the North Macedonia champions set for next Tuesday, and should Rovers progress, they will be one win away from the group stages of this year's competition.

Bradley has done his homework on the travelling side and he expects the front four to provide a real handful for his defence with two attacking wide men combining with a powerful duo leading the line, offering an effective direct style of play.

"Very, very dangerous, as dangerous as any team we have played in Europe in terms of the attributes that they have," said Bradley, speaking to RTE Sport.

"Any team that can run Dynamo really close over two legs show the quality that they have.

"We have to respect them but like in any game, we have to impose our style and our presence on the game as soon as possible

"And if we can do that, we know that we have enough to win the game and the tie, but we have to be at our very best to go and do that."

Bradley maintains that the players are well versed in their specific roles for the vital European night in front of what should be a large vociferous crowd at Tallaght Stadium, however, he stressed the need to keep things simple and succinct in terms of preparing his side for the game.

"All football teams are lucky in terms of the information that is out there and can access it very quickly," said
