Tottenham head into their final Europa League Group A game against Shamrock knowing even a victory may not be enough to secure their qualification.


Spurs are third in the group and need a win combined with a PAOK victory over Rubin Kazan and a five-goal swing in goal difference to reach the last 32.


Shamrock are bottom of the group with no points and no hope of qualifying.


However, they will be looking for a positive result in boss Michael O'Neill's final game in charge.


The 42-year-old, who has guided Rovers to two League of Ireland titles since arriving in 2009, announced he would be quitting the club on Monday following a failure to agree terms on a new contract.

He and his assistant Jim Magilton are among the candidates who will be interviewed for the Northern Ireland manager's job this week.


In the previous match between the two at White Hart Lane, Tottenham ran out 3-1 winners, after having to come from a goal down.


Spurs midfielder Danny Rose played in that match and is looking for another victory, despite knowing this may not be enough to qualify.


"We always go out to win every game and Thursday night will be no different," the England Under-21 international told the club's official website. "Whatever team steps out, we will want to win that game.


"We started poorly against PAOK [in their previous group match] in the first 20 minutes and we paid for it by going 2-0 down. We were camped in their half in the second half but couldn't turn it around.


"With the defeat at Stoke on Sunday, we're all determined to put things right and Thursday is the first chance to do that."

Five goal swing? Luckily Pav has a "bad back".

 

[Mr Pink]

I can honestly see us scoring at least 8

 

[elDiablo]

early goal for us and anything is possible.

 

[nightgoat]

Depends who's playing, I'll be intrigued to see whether Harry seems that bothered or not... Sunderland on Sunday has become that little bit trickier with O'Neill in charge rather than Useless Bruce...

I think we're going out

 

[SlickMongoose]

Storm forecast?

 

[Mr Pink]

We'll get battered...Eek :grin:

 

[Yid-ol]

Cant see us getting into the next round, but hope we win this game.

 

[ExpatFan]

PAOK and Rubin will play out the draw they both need.

 

[thetallaghttiger]

will be very disappointed if we don't give this 100% - really want to see Rovers get stuffed, but would be more annoyed if players don't put on a performance for all the Spurs fans from Ireland

 

[Leachie]

I'll be there! Cheering the team on! Not too bothered about the result!

 

[AngerManagement]

No chance will we get through, I think we will probably win but by no more than a goal or two and the other game will not go our way. We simply shouldn't have lost at home against PAOK

 

[dav3j]

Not even going to bother putting any vCash down on this, I have no idea what the score or result will be. Could go any way to be honest.

 

[brasil_spur]

I predict a win by us, probably by a few goals too, but i doubt we'll get lucky enough with the PAOK game for it to get us through.

 

[tototoner]

paid for flights and a hotel up front in Dublin for tonight but couldn't make it due to work, gutted

Russian season has finished on November 26. It's so difficult for the players keep match form for Rubin players. Anything can happen. For example Lokomotiv Moscow last night lost 5-3 to Anderlecht. Rubin finished one place above Loko.
It's about mental preparation but Russians already see themselves on the beach surrounded by bikinis :grin:

I guess there still might be a surprise.

Stranger things have happened of course, it wasn't more than a week or two ago that Ajax somehow crashed out under similar circumstances

I just don't see this happening for us tonight I'm afraid (we will probably play a week team and actually struggled to beat Shamrock at the Lane already)

Annoyingly I won't be back from College till 8pm :-x.

Ah well looks like a Sky+ jobby.
