Posted by

Shamrock Rovers could claim the League of Ireland Premier Division on live television as RTÉ will air their clash with Derry City on Friday night.

A win over the Candystripes at Tallaght Stadium could be secure the league title for Rovers.

That will depend on the earlier fixture between Dundalk and Bohemians, which kicks off at 5.45pm.

If Bohemians drop points, Rovers can claim the title with a victory over Derry.

The Rovers v Derry game kicks off at 7.45pm. The Dundalk v Bohemians match will be live on watchloi.ie.

Meanwhile, the development of a new stand at Tallaght Stadium has been given the go-ahead.

The total capacity will increase to 10,500 people, which will allow it to hold more games and attract concerts to the venue.

Local Green Party Councillor, Liam Sinclair, says it should be completed by 2022.

“It means that it is up to UEFA category four, which means it can hold any European match, including Champions League.

“More people can get into matches that are on there and it also makes it more accessible for concerts and festivals, so we will be actively trying to get more of that sort of event happening in this venue.”
