League of Ireland Premier Division champions Shamrock Rovers have come out strongly against the anti-immigration sentiment creeping into Irish society, stressing that all nationalities are welcome into their club family.

Construction work on their fourth and final stand, which will spike the Tallaght Stadium attendance above 10,000 in July, forced the Hoops to play their opening two league matches away but they’re at home to Derry City and Cork City on Friday and Monday respectively.
