Sligo have full squad for vital Bohs game

Sligo Rovers will be looking for victory to keep their slim title hopes alive when they take on Bohemians at Dalymount Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Alan Keane is ruled out for Sligo as he is serving a suspension, but otherwise manager Paul Cook has a full squad to choose from.

Sligo beat tonight’s opponents in last Sunday’s FAI Ford Cup semi-final clash and will be looking for a similar result this evening.

Cook said: "Bohemians played well last week and gave us a very hard game.

"I have no doubt they will be keen to make up for it and finish strongly in front of their own supporters. We have a record number of points and we want to try to get as many as possible before the season ends.

"We finished third last season and our target is always improvement so we will be giving our all in the last two matches to finish as high as possible."

Bohemians took full points from the league games this season in the Showgrounds, coming behind on both occasions to win 2-1, while they drew their last league match in Dalymount 0-0.

Gypsies manager Pat Fenlon’s squad is boosted by the return of central defender Liam Burns and strikers Christy Fagan and Anto Flood who all missed the Cup game through suspension.

Mark Rossiter and Killian Brennan are fit to play after getting through the full 90 minutes on Sunday, however, defender Aidan Price is set to miss out as he is struggling with a dead leg.
