Brian Laws is expected to be announced as Shamrock Rovers' temporary Director of Football later today.

Reports this morning suggest the former Scunthorpe, Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley manager will be given a six week contract to salvage something from the Hoops' dwindling season.

Manager Stephen Kenny was sacked last week, with his assistant Stephen Glass taking control in last Friday's FAI Cup defeat at Shelbourne.

Thirteen points behind current leaders Sligo Rovers with six games to play, the Tallaght side have all but relinquished their league title.

They are, however, in the final of the EA Sports Cup this Saturday and Laws could even meet the media tomorrow with a pre-match press conference scheduled.
