Galway United will be looking for a much-needed victory when they take on Shamrock Rovers at Terryland Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Galway United will be looking for a much-needed victory when they take on Shamrock Rovers at Terryland Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Galway boss Jeff Kenna has a wide range of options coming into tonight's game with previously cup-tied Alan Murphy and Iarfhlaith Davoran available for this important league encounter.

The only player missing is Ollie Fenn who has struggled recently with a viral infection.

For Rovers, Eoin Doyle, Danny O'Connor and Corie Treacy are all suspended. Aidan Price (shoulder) and John Martin (hip) remain sidelined.

"The good news about Aidan is that his dislocated shoulder isn't as bad as it first seemed," said Hoops boss Pat Scully. "He could well be back before the end of the season.

"John Martin's coming on well, following his hip operation, while Eric McGill, Darren Stapleton and Robbie Creevy all have slight knocks and should feature against Galway.

"Sean O'Connor (groin) and Darragh Maguire (calf) should both be okay," he added.

"It's just as well we haven't had a game for three weeks as we've had a lot of injuries."
