Hoops missing Rutherford

Drogheda United will be hoping to claim their first win of the season to put their indifferent start to the season behind them when they meet a still winless Shamrock Rovers at United Park tonight.

Having drawn 2-2 with Bray Wanderers last week, Drogheda manager Paul Doolin must decide whether to recall Alan Reilly who missed last week through suspension.

Shamrock Rovers will be without Mark Rutherford who has not recovered from a thigh problem, meaning that manager Roddy Collins is likely to stick with the same starting XI which lost to Longford Town last week.
