Finn not thinking about Breiðablik game until after Drogheda clash

Yet with Dublin rivals St Patrick’s Athletic currently just four points adrift of them at the summit of the top-flight table, Finn believes this evening’s trip to Louth is every bit as important as what will follow four days later.

Despite being on the cusp of extending his already impressive European appearances haul, Shamrock Rovers captain Ronan Finn insists his sole concentration for the time being is on tonight’s visit to Drogheda United in the SSE Airtricity Men’s Premier Division (kick-off 7.45pm).

In last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League group stage opener for the Hoops against Djurgarden at Tallaght Stadium, Finn surpassed his former Dundalk team-mate Gary Rogers to become the League of Ireland player with the most European club outings to his name.
