Though they’ve lost their two most recent meetings, Derry City manager Ruaidhri Higgins says his side holds no fear of the challenge against champions Shamrock Rovers in the top-of-the-table Premier Division clash at the Ryan McBride Brandywell stadium tonight.

Under Higgins' tenure over the last two years, Derry have beaten Rovers four times in league and cups and come into the game in arguably their best form of the season, unbeaten in six league games since losing to Hoops in late June.
