Kilmarnock – Nomads on Quay Connah & # 39; s

Manager Angelo Alessio warned "that there was no reason to be complacent" while Kilmarnock would try to win a Europa League win over Connads' Quay Nomads.

The Scottish Premier League retains a 2-1 lead after the first leg against the WL Premier League runner-up.

But they needed a goal behind Rhyl and a team that won their last two away games on Scottish soil.

"We have to play better than last week," Alessio said.

The carrot for the winners is a second qualifying round with Partizan, which finished third in the Serbian SuperLiga last season and won its national cup for a record seventh time beating league champions and neighbors Red Star .

Kilmarnock remains understaffed, having made only two additions for the summer after the departure of a large part of the team with the manager of Scotland, Steve Clarke.

Former Roda midfielder Mohamed El Makrini and Juventus goaltender Laurentian Branescu were on the bench in Wales, while Alex Bruce is not eligible despite the signing from a new contract on Wednesday.

Kilmarnock, whose highest league performance since 1966 ensured the return of Europe after an 18-year hiatus, has only won four of his last eight draws at home in the European competition.

They will try to avoid a repeat of their experience of the 1970 Fairs Cup against Coleraine, when part-time North Irish workers shocked their host 3-2 at Rugby Park after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

Connah & # 39; s Quay Scottish manager Andy Morrison will remind his team that she has a good record in Scotland.

They won at Falkirk and Queen's Park last season by attempting to put the Championship winner to a hard test before losing the final of the Scottish Challenge Cup 3-1 to Inverness.

"We know we have to stay in the game and stay as tight as we can before showing our hand and maybe making a difference," Morrison said.

"We looked at some things this week, I think the two or three times we ended up in their box, we always seemed to score a goal.

"So that's pretty much all we're trying to get out there and how open it is to the back, because the higher you go, the more players you play against will be punished they will make the right decision. "
