Murphy and Gamble suspended as Cork eye upset

Cork City boss Damien Richardson remains optimistic ahead of the Champions League qualifier against Red Star Belgrade, despite confirmation from UEFA of two-match bans for Danny Murphy and Joe Gamble.

Full-back Murphy and midfielder Gamble were dismissed following an incident in the tunnel after last week’s clash with Apollon Limassol, which Cork won 2-1 on aggregate to set up a tie with the former European champions.
