Rovers hoping to steer clear of trouble

Shamrock Rovers hope to make it two wins in a row to climb away from trouble when they face Derry City at Dalymount Park.

Bottom-of-the-table Rovers enjoyed a victory over Drogheda United last week and manager Roddy Collins hopes to play the same starting 11 as last week though Keith Doyle is a minor doubt with a groin problem.

Derry City will be without long-term absentees Damien Brennan and Eddie McCallion while Stephen O’Flynn (thigh) is also ruled out.
