Andy Morrison revealed how he has been plotting Kilmarnock's Europa League downfall on a new sponsors tactics board but joked that he would be better off with a prayer mat.
Connah's Quay Nomads trail 2-1 from the first leg in Rhyl and are rated as no-hopes.
However Morrsison insists that he has been allowing himself to dream that the Welsh minnows can pull off mission impossible at Rugby Park.
Connah's Quay have form after previously knocking out Norwegian side Stabaek after winning 1-0 in the away leg in 2016 to advance to the second qualifying round.
He said: "Let’s hope everyone assumes the tie is over.
"We won’t hold back, we’ll go full out the way we always do.
"We are allowed to dream and I was dreaming after 81 minutes last week.
"You have to mentally visualise that opportunity and see pictures in your mind of coming off the pitch victorious.
"We must not lose the game before we have an opportunity to win it and show our hand.
"You saw at the weekend in the cricket that strange things happen in sport.
"There’s no reason we can’t come here and win 2-0.
"History shows we can get big results when we’ve been given no hope.
"One of our sponsors sent us a new tactics board for the dressing-room, I told him to send a prayer mat as well!"
