O’Neill’s Hoops out to topple Pats in derby

IT’S first versus second at the top of the Airtricity League tonight (kick-off 8pm) as Saint Patrick’s Athletic visit Shamrock Rovers for another six-pointer Dublin derby.

Pats might hold a two-point advantage going into the game but Rovers boss Michael O’Neill is hoping for a bit of role-reversal come the final whistle.

“This is a chance for us to go top of the league,” he said, “and we’ll be doing our utmost to be there at the end of the 90 minutes.”
