Suspension blow for Finn Harps ahead of Derry City derby

FINN HARPS manager Ollie Horgan has been forced into an attacking rejig for tomorrow evening’s north-west derby against Derry City.

Striker Ruairi Keating, who recently returned for a third spell at Harps, will serve a suspension tomorrow night after accumulating five bookings.

Although Keating has only just joined Harps, signing from Galway United, where he had been since early this year, the striker has been booked three times in four games.

Having carried two bookings with him to Ballybofey, Keating will now be suspended tomorrow night, with Horgan down the injured Damien McNulty and Gareth Harkin.

“Ruairi is a big loss, yeah,” Horgan told Donegal Sport Hub on Keating’s absence.

“On his day he is as good as anyone. He has great potential. In Dalymount against Bohemians on Friday night he was good, just his finishing let him down.

“But we have choices there. We had Dave Scully, Ryan Curran and Adam Hanlon, who didn’t start the last day who can come in.”
