What happened. James McClean said Derry City's European form isn't due to a lack of effort but an 'issue somewhere' in the club, after they exited the Conference League.

Derry lost both legs 1-0 to Rijeka.
They also lost 5-3 on aggregate to CSKA Sofia.
McClean was not in the squad on Thursday.

“If you watch the games, the lads aren't losing these games based on lack of effort. So clearly there is an issue somewhere.”
— James McClean

Derry City sit sixth in the league after finishing second last year.
