McGrath: “Our first points with PAOK”

He acknowledged how difficult the game against PAOK is, but he set as his goal the first win for his team in the group stage of the Conference League. The reason for Jamie McGrath who spoke to the Scottish media about Thursday’s match.

“We know where we are in the group. We had a good performance in Frankfurt from which we didn’t get any points. Ideally we would have liked to have beaten Helsinki at home, but it didn’t work out for us. There are no easy games in Europe, every team has its own strengths and weaknesses.” said – initially – the Aberdeen footballer and added:

“It will be something huge if we can get the three points against PAOK. This will put us back in contention for qualification, in view of the game in Greece. There are still a lot of big nights and it would be nice for us to continue with wins.

There are four games left and twelve points on the table. We want to get the first three against PAOK on Thursday. Obviously at home we have better chances to get the win we need. We know that we will have significant support from our people, and that will be a critical factor for us. If we play to the best of our ability, then we’ll have a really good chance to get the win.”

Regarding the help his team will have in planning their plan by studying the games against Hearts he commented:

“PAOK beat Hearts in the qualifiers and we can learn from that. At the same time, I was a member of the Irish national team that faced Greece away from home, so I know how crazy the fans are there.”he said.
