Dundalk’s Johannes Yli-Kokko says victory over champions Shamrock Rovers on Friday night would catapult the Lilywhites into the title race.

Ten points and two other contenders stand between Stephen O’Donnell’s team and the Hoops but they’re the form team, having won three and drawn the other of their last four matches.
