Shamrock Rovers were struggling for identity when they last faced Djurgardens and keeping the score respectable was the priority.
Such was the way back in 2002 when the Hoops - managed then by Liam Buckley - were a broken club on the ropes with no money, no ground and no training pitch to call their own.
They were asked to leave public parks where they had hoped to train, and a laundrette once refused to give back jerseys because the bill hadn’t been paid.
