Tottenham head into their final Europa League Group A game against Shamrock knowing even a victory may not be enough to secure their qualification.
Spurs are third in the group and need a win combined with a PAOK victory over Rubin Kazan and a five-goal swing in goal difference to reach the last 32.
Shamrock are bottom of the group with no points and no hope of qualifying.
However, they will be looking for a positive result in boss Michael O'Neill's final game in charge.
The 42-year-old, who has guided Rovers to two League of Ireland titles since arriving in 2009, announced he would be quitting the club on Monday following a failure to agree terms on a new contract.
We always go out to win every game and Thursday night will be no different. Whatever team steps out, we will want to win that gameTottenham's Danny Rose
He and his assistant Jim Magilton are among the candidates who will be interviewed for the Northern Ireland manager's job this week.
In the previous match between the two at White Hart Lane,Tottenham ran out 3-1 winners,after having to come from a goal down.
Spurs midfielder Danny Rose played in that match and is looking for another victory, despite knowing this may not be enough to qualify.
"We always go out to win every game and Thursday night will be no different," the England Under-21 international told the club's official website. "Whatever team steps out, we will want to win that game.
"We started poorly against PAOK [in their previous group match] 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."
