League of Ireland: Hoops visit Celtic Park for Derry test while Pat's and Bohs face off in derby clash
"Derry City will line out at Celtic Park for the very first time after securing a temporary move to the home of GAA in the Oak Leaf County while the Ryan McBride Brandywell pitch undergoes work."
"The Foylesiders are hopeful of a crowd of around 7,000 at the 12,500-capacity ground for tonight's televised visit of champions Shamrock Rovers."
"Second-placed St Patrick's Athletic got back to winning ways a week ago and host Bohemians at Richmond Park, while the Gypsies have fallen off the pace in recent weeks."
"Cork City have opened up an eight-point advantage with a game in hand on the chasing pack and travel to the Carlisle Grounds in one of four second-tier fixtures."
Derry City is temporarily playing at Celtic Park due to pitch work at the Brandywell. They expect around 7,000 fans for their match against Shamrock Rovers. Manager Tiernan Lynch feels some pressure eased after a recent win. St Patrick's Athletic, in second place, aims to maintain momentum against Bohemians, who are struggling. Shelbourne faces Drogheda United, both teams in poor form. Waterford, at the bottom of the table, faces Galway United after a recent defeat. In the First Division, Cork City leads with an eight-point advantage.
