Hoops not on spot for second leg

Shamrock Rovers v Ballkani, Tallaght, 8pm Europe Conference League qualifier second leg (Rovers trail 1-0 from first leg)

- BY MARK McCADDEN

STEPHEN BRADLEY says his players are welcome to practice penalties ahead of tonight's Conference League tie - but that it's not part of his preparation for the visit of Ballkani.

Shamrock Rovers trail 1-0 from the first leg and have twice been involved in shootouts in European competition.

They beat Finnish side Ilves 12-11 in their 2020 Europa League clash and lost 5-4 to Molde last February in a battle to reach the last 16 of the Conference League.
