The television cameras will be in Ballybofey for tonight's relegation six-pointer as Finn Harps take on Cobh Ramblers at Finn Park, kick-off 8.00pm.

A victory for Harps would see them go nine points clear of Ramblers and with a game in hand.

Harps will have to plan without the suspended Stephen Parkhouse, while Shaun McGowan (groin) and Declan Boyle (hamstring) are also set to miss out.

Gary Beckett and Cornelius Gallagher remain sidelined, however, Davy Byrne and David Tyrrell return to the squad.

Harps boss Paul Hegarty said: "Cobh might fall nine points off the pace if they lose and that might be a bit much for them, so they'll be pulling out all the stops to try and get something from the game."

Cobh must make the long trip north without the services of Kenny Coleman, while Kieran O'Reilly (hip) and Ross Gaynor (thigh) are also ruled out.
