Brian Kerr believes that Shamrock Rovers will only get better in Europe if they are playing teams of a higher quality on a weekly basis in the League of Ireland.
Tonight, Rovers' European campaign came to an end with a spirited 1-0 defeat away to group winners Djurgarden. Despite being the only side to take points off the Swedish giants in the group stage, Rovers finished rock bottom with just two points from six games.
The Hoops certainly didn't disgrace themselves in the group stage and plenty of the games were tight affairs. However, despite performing decently, former Ireland manager Kerr believes a lack of competition in the Premier Division, which Rovers have now won three times in a row, is holding the Tallaght club back in Europe.
