• Fingal’s goalscorer at Dalymount, Ger O’Brien, was forced off shortly after with an ankle knock but has recovered and will feature against the Bit O’Red.
• Lee McEvilly could make his first start for Sligo Rovers
• Gary McCabe returns from suspension for Sligo.
• Winger Dean Marshall has left Sligo to join Athlone Town, while the club are waiting on defender Jim Lauchlan’s registration to go through.

• “We were delighted to get a draw against Bohemians, considering we conceded a sloppy goal in the first half.I thought we played some excellent football in the second half and might have gone on to win it after equalising. There hasn’t been much recovery time for this game against Sligo but, as our matches against them are always entertaining affairs, this encounter has all the ingredients to continue that trend.” – Sporting manager Liam Buckley
