Kenny looking for a third straight derby win at Bohs

Bohemians will be hoping to have Owen Heary back from a hamstring injury when they look for their first win in three games tonight.

Bohemians will be hoping to have Owen Heary back from a hamstring injury when they look for their first win in three games tonight.

Bohs host old rivals Shamrock Rovers at Dalymount Park after suffering a late defeat at St Patrick’s Athletic last week after a disciplined display.

Evan McMillan returns from suspension for the Gypsies, but Dave Scully is suspended while Lee Dixon remains out with a toe injury.

Their manager Aaron Callaghan doesn't see motivation being a problem for his players when facing Rovers.

Callaghan said: "I don’t change anything in relation to the training for a match like this but from the players’ perspective it is easier to get motivated for a game against Rovers.

"It might be a little harder against one of the so-called smaller teams."

The Hoops, who came out on top against Shelbourne in a five-goal thriller at Tolka Park, are still without Ciaran Kilduff who has a foot injury.

Sean Gannon is also out with an injured ankle, but Stephen Rice and Killian Brennan return from suspension.

Rovers boss Stephen Kenny is confident of victory at Dalymount tonight.

Kenny said: "We secured an important victory against Shels in the league last week, and backed that up by progressing to the semi-final of the EA Sports Cup against St Pat's.

"This is our third derby game in just over a week, and we will be looking for a third win from three."
