O'Neill out for Rovers' clash with PAOK

Shamrock Rovers' Europa League odyssey has brought them to Greece tonight where they will challenge PAOK in their latest Group A outing.

The Hoops have lost their opening two matches in the competition, but Michael O'Neill's side remain high on confidence as they close in on retaining their Airtricity League Premier Division title.

PAOK have drawn their opening two games, against Tottenham and Rubin Kazan, leaving them just above Rovers in the Group A standings.

Gary O’Neill is out with a calf strain, but central defender Craig Sives is expected to be passed fit.

PAOK boss Laszlo Boloni is without five players, chief among them Uruguayan playmaker Pablo Garcia (groin).
