League of Ireland: St. Pat’s hope to move level at top

St. Pat’s have an opportunity to move level on points with league leaders Shamrock Rovers tonight when they take on Finn Harps.

Rovers have no league fixture this weekend due to playing in Europe last night and if Alan Mathews side win by a margin of more than four goals they will move ahead of the reigning champions on goal difference.

Here is how the league table currently looks: –
