CRAIG HARRISON was so proud of The New Saints as they booked their spot in the second qualifying round of the Champions League for the first time since 2019.
The New Saints claimed a 1-1 draw away to Decic Tuzi in Podgorica completing a 4-1 aggregate win.
Boss Harrison told TNS TV: “Massively, massively proud. I am quite emotional. Football is an emotive sport, isn’t it, especially when we’ve come away from home.
“It was tough tonight. The lads dug in and the heat’s 30-odd degrees when we’re kicking off and we defended really well.
“Obviously, I think the key was for us scoring the goal. It took a bit of pressure off us and, look, I’m probably a little bit overwhelmed at this moment in time. It’s not very often I’m lost for words.”
Brad Young fired TNS in front from the penalty spot two minutes before half-time after Caique Augusto fouled Ben Clark, before Asmir Kajevic levelled on 72 minutes.
