'No pressure' on TNS for Fiorentina test - Redmond

Danny Redmond says there is no pressure on The New Saints ahead of their Uefa Conference League group stage opener against Fiorentina.

The Saints' fixture against the Serie A side at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Thursday night (20:00 BST) will see the reigning Cymru Premier champions become the first club to ever represent Wales in this stage of European competition.

And given the rich history of their Italian opponents - who have reached the past two Uefa Conference League finals - TNS captain Redmond admits the expectation will lie firmly on the shoulders of Raffaele Palladino's Fiorentina.
