Kilmarnock can expect a closely contested tie against a ‘direct’ Tromso, according to Bladet Nordlys sports journalist Anders Mo Hanssen.A 1-0 away loss to Rosenborg on Sunday saw them slip to 13th place in the Eliteserien after 18 games, but it’s a congested table with the world’s northernmost professional football club only five points off fifth place.The Standard spoke to Hanssen, who covers the club for local paper Bladet Nordlys, to get the lowdown on both the club and the city.He said: “It’s been a long time since Tromso played in Europe so this is seen as a big occasion for the club.“Actually, the first time they played in Europe was against St Mirren in 1987 and they haven’t played since 2015.“They finished in third place last season but they lost their manager to Bodo/Glimt.
He actually went there to be the assistant but Bodo have been the top club in Norway for the past few years and are seen as Tromso’s main rivals.“They have lost a lot of their best players to Bodo/Glimt in recent seasons.”He added: “Jorgen Vik was the assistant and he stepped up to be co-manager and there is maybe a more direct style of play with the team now.“They haven’t quite reached the standards yet of last season but it is also a very tight division.
Although they are 13th after the loss to Rosenborg they are really quite close to fifth place.“But it’s a club that has been on the rise.
They were relegated in 2019 and since then there has been a huge increase in the supporters, especially from the youth in the city.
