Dundalk confirm that they have identified the supporter that allegedly racially abused a Shamrock Rovers player in their aftermath of their FAI Cup clash on Sunday.

The Lilywhites defeated Rovers 1-0 at Oriel Park in the opening round of the national competition, despite finishing the cup tie with ten men, thanks to Hayden Muller's first half strike.
