O’Neill: Tallaght factor vital

SHAMROCK ROVERS can take a giant step towards retaining their Airtricity League Premier Division title when they take on third placed-Derry City in tonight’s clash at Tallaght (7pm, RTÉ Two).

“We will have one of our biggest crowds of the season and we have to use the fact that the game is in Tallaght,” said Hoops boss Michael O’Neill.

“Last Sunday’s 2-1 win away to Bray Wanderers was a massive result for us and we have to build on that. By my reckoning we need to win two of our last three games — but one of those must be against Derry.”
