The Lilywhites are set to play host to Belarusian side tonight in the second-leg of their third round qualifier, but they’re trailing by a goal to nil after the first-leg.

“People will think the game is over,” Kenny said today. “But they still conceded two goals in Finland in the second half recently recently, against SJK of Helsinki. It finished a draw.

“We can’t dismiss anything.”

Kick-off at the Tallaght Stadium tonight is at 8pm.
