Danny Redmond insists leading The New Saints in their historic first season competing in the league phase of a European competition is the highlight of his career.
Redmond is looking forward to captaining the JD Cymru Premier champions against Swedish club Djurgarden at Shrewsbury Town’s Croud Meadow tonight ,It’s the Park Hall side’s fourth league phase fixture, with Saints currently standing 24th from the 36 teams through to this stage of the competition.
Redmond and his team-mates enjoyed their first experience of playing at Shrewsbury, the club’s temporary European home, when Saints memorably beat Astana 2-0 last month. Saints took the lead in their last European match against Shamrock Rovers, but ultimately left Dublin empty-handed after the Irish side hit back to win 2-1 earlier this month.
Saints prepared up for tonight’s big game by retrieving a 2-0 half-time deficit to beat Penybont, the JD Cymru Premier leaders, 3-2 in Oswestry on Saturday.
