St Pat's hope for win to pull them out of relegation danger zone

There seems to be little more than local bragging rights up for grabs when St Patrick’s Athletic face Shamrock Rovers at Richmond Park tonight (7pm).

John McDonnell’s Pat’s side looked to have finally pulled themselves out of the relegation mire with a 2-1 win over Waterford United last weekend. With bottom club Dublin City losing at Drogheda and getting a draw at Bohemians, Pat’s are nine points clear of the danger zone having played a game less than the Vikings.
