Not if they want to experience more European nights next season, considering this current run will end in Istanbul next week barring a miracle.

The Saints were thumped 4-1 by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team in the Conference League in Tallaght on Thursday, having trailed 4-0 at the break after Tammy Abraham ran riot with a hat-trick.

But they have to refocus their minds ahead of tomorrow's vital league game at home to Sligo Rovers (6pm).

Sixth in the table, St Pat's are six points adrift of third and the guarantee of Europe next season.
