If you are flying with the Dundalk team to Tel-Aviv, it is a good indication how much the club means to you.
Packie McGuinness rarely misses a Dundalk training session. He never misses a match.
A fan of Dundalk from way, way back, McGuinness was travelling with the squad for their Europa League tie against Maccabi Tel Aviv, on Thursday, when he and his wife got a lovely surprise.

“They follow us everywhere. Packie does be at every training session. I think he knows more about Dundalk at this stage than the manager.”
It’s the least they deserve.

A win would definitely secure Dundalk passage to the knock-out stages but a draw may also prove enough.
