Tottenham full-back Danny Rose is looking to get back to winning ways in Spurs' final group game of the Europa League.
The Premier League side travel to Dublin needing a win ahead of their clash with Shamrock Rovers in matchday six of the competition, whilst also hoping PAOK can beat Rubin Kazan in Greece to give them any hope of qualifying.
If Harry Redknapp's men win on Thursday, they will also need to turn around a five-goal deficit over Rubin in order to progress to the knockout stages due to their higher UEFA coefficient.
Rose, who returned from injury in Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat against PAOK at White Hart Lane in November, is fully concentrating on winning at the Tallaght Stadium rather than games elsewhere however.
“We always go out to win every game and Thursday night will be no different,” Rose told the club's official website.
“Whatever team steps out, we will want to win that game.
“We started poorly against PAOK 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.”
