The New Saints face Italian giants Fiorentina tonight as they begin their eagerly-awaited Uefa Conference League fixtures.
Albert Gudmundsson of ACF Fiorentina celebrates .
It’s an exciting prospect for Saints after making history by becoming the first JD Cymru Premier side to progress to this stage of a European competition.Saints will also head to Irish club Shamrock Rovers and Celje in Slovenia, with matches against Astana from Kazakhstan, Swedish club Djurgarden and Panathinaikos from Greece to come at Shrewsbury Town’s Croud Meadow.
Harrison is well aware just how much all of the Park Hall club’s players will want to be involved in such a high-profile match. “Fortunately, this week, which is amazing, we’ve just got Ash Baker back, Jordan Marshall back, Josh Pask, Ryan Brobbel and Declan McManus.“They all managed to play minutes over the weekend, whether that was 20 minutes against Newtown on Friday, or the other lads played 45 minutes in the reserves on Saturday, so they’ve got some match minutes, and it’s massive having five players of their quality coming back in the squad, which obviously just makes my job a little bit harder again.
