Sligo Rovers and UCD go head to head in the final league clash of the season at The Showgrounds tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Gavin Peers is suspended for Sligo but will be available for next week’s FAI Ford Cup final against Shelbourne.

Otherwise, manager Paul Cook has a full squad to choose from.

Cook said: "It was a difficult week for the club with the uncertainty and we're looking forward to our final game in the league.

"We want to finish with another three points. The players have been tremendous and they are a credit to the club.

"I know there is a big crowd expected for this last game and the players deserve that and will look to go out on a high ahead of the Aviva."

UCD will be looking to finish on a high after suffering a last-minute defeat to Shamrock Rovers on Tuesday, which handed the Hoops the title.

College manager Martin Russell must plan without Darren Meenan who is suspended after getting sent off on Tuesday night.

Samir Belhout and Daniel Ledwith both return to the squad after serving suspensions.
