Sligo Rovers v Shelbourne 7.45pm

- BY PAUL O'HEHIR

JOHN RUSSELL insists Sligo won't be lulled into a false sense of security against Shelbourne tonight.

The League of Ireland champions are just back from Azerbaijan where they bowed out of the Champions League to Qarabag on Wednesday.

Joey O'Brien's men lost 1-0 on the night in Baku, 4-0 on aggregate, and will soon travel to Croatia to play Rijeka on Wednesday.

But even if Shels are tired from their exertions and have one eye on next week's high stakes Europa League mission, Russell doubts the Reds will be complacent tonight.
