Montgomery a doubt for Swifts

Dungannon Swifts will be looking for their first victory of their Setanta Sports Cup campaign when they take on Drogheda United at Stangmore Park tonight, kick-off 8.05pm.

Defender Johnny Montgomery is a major doubt for Swifts. He has been struggling with an eye problem and had to be substituted after 34 minutes of Saturday's defeat to Institute.

Darren Murphy should return after not being risked against 'Stute.

Mark McAllister is free from suspension, while Aidan McCarron also comes into contention.

Drogheda boss Paul Doolin has a couple of injury worries as Finnish goalkeeper Mikko Vilmunen is more than likely out with a chest infection, while both Jason Gavin and Stuart Byrne picked up knocks during Friday night's victory over UCD.

Doolin said: "Stuart took a few knocks on the same ankle, he's picked up a few of them recently, and Jason took a bang on his hip.

"Mikko was struggling with a chest infection, but Jamie (Ewings) did well when he came in against UCD."
