Tottenham to take Shamrock Rovers seriously says Rose

Danny Rose says Tottenham will take this week's opponent Shamrock Rovers seriously as they strive to qualify for the next stage of the Europa League.

Spurs take on the Irish club in the final Group A match tomorrow night needing a win and hoping that group leaders PAOK beat Rubin Kazan in Greece.

Left-back Rose insists that Tottenham will need to be at their best to beat Shamrock despite them sitting at the foot of the table with no points from five outings.

"We always go out to win every game and Thursday night will be no different," the 21-year old told Spurs' official website.

"Whatever team steps out, we will want to win that game.

"We started poorly against PAOK (2-1 loss on November 30) in the first 20 minutes and we paid for it by going 2-0 down. We were camped in their half in the second half but couldn't turn it around.

"With the defeat at Stoke on Sunday, we're all determined to put things right and Thursday is the first chance to do that."
