Candystripes short-handed for trip to Tallaght

Shamrock Rovers and Derry City will meet for the third time in 12 days with three players doubtful for the Foylesiders for the Premier Division clash at Tallaght Stadium.

The Candystripes produced a stunning 3-0 win over Rovers in the first leg of their Setanta Sports Cup semi-final when the Hoops had their keeper sent off early on but the Dubliners responded by winning the second leg 2-0 at the Brandywell.
