Twigg out of Hoops' Europa clash

Shamrock Rovers striker Gary Twigg has been ruled out of tonight's Europa League game against PAOK Salonika due to a hamstring problem.

O'Neill is now set to start Karl Sheppard as the lead striker in the 4-5-1 formation that he has favoured so-far in their European games.

A win tonight for the Airtricity League champions would see them move ahead of PAOK in the Group A standings.

Shamrock Rovers team v PAOK: Thompson, Sullivan, Oman, Murray, Stevens, Rice, O'Donnell, Turner, Dennehy, Paterson, Sheppard.
