Cobh Ramblers will be desperate for a victory in their bid to beat relegation as they welcome Derry City to St Colman’s Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Colin O'Brien returns to the Ramblers squad having missed the last game against Bohemians.

For City, Ciaran Martyn is ruled out after fracturing his ankle, while Barry Molloy is also missing with a knee injury.

Mark McChrystal and Peter Hutton are also doubts as both have groin injuries.

Assistant boss Alan Reynolds said: "We are looking to bounce back from our last league game against Rovers.

"The team are still in confident mood thanks to a good performance at Galway in the semi-final of the League Cup.

"Cobh, however, will prove tough opposition. They may find themselves at the wrong end of the table but we will give them every respect and we are prepared for a tricky game on a tight pitch."
