Joey O’Brien has challenged his Shelbourne players to use the “hurt” of Skopje as motivation for their must-win Uefa Conference League encounter with Drita tomorrow.

The Shelbourne camp were floored by a calamitous defeat away to North Macedonia champions Shkendija that has left them with a mountain to climb if they are to stay in the competition beyond Christmas.
