Bohemians manager Stephen Kenny knows his team face a huge task if they are to make history by becoming the first Irish club ever to reach the Champions League third round.
Kenny's men take on Norwegian side Rosenborg in their second round, first leg tie at sell-out Dalymount Park tomorrow night.
Bohemians were brilliant in coming back from a first leg deficit to overcome BATE Borisov in the first round but Kenny said: "This is a step up for us - but it is a challenge we are looking forward to.
"We are huge underdogs and we are under no illusions about that. We want to make history and mentally my players are prepared. The timing of this game is just right for us," he said.
The eircom League champions have a clean bill of health for the game with defender Colin Hawkins having shrugged off an Achilles injury and Bobby Ryan back after a hamstring problem.
The winners of the two-legged tie meet Spanish giants Deportivo La Coruna in the third round.
