Just when it appeared Shamrock Rovers were easing away into the distance, Dundalk ensured that a possibility of a title race remains open in the SSE Airtricity League.The Lilywhites' 1-0 win over the champions last week means there are just five points between the sides with Dundalk having a game in hand to try and cut that gap even further.Stephen Bradley's Rovers will be aiming to bounce back straight away but Friday sees them face into what always has always got the potential to be a tricky Dublin derby against Bohemians.While anything could happen in that game, which will be live on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player, former Ireland, St Patrick's Athletic and Drogheda United player Keith Treacy expects the Hoops to have their fingers nowhere near the panic button when it comes to the title race."There's a lot of older heads and a couple of younger heads in the Shamrock Rovers dressing room, I don't think they'll be fazed by losing (to Dundalk)," said the former Blackburn and Burnley midfielder on the RTÉ Soccer Podcast."But they're still five points ahead.

I know Dundalk have a game in hand but they'll be saying, 'We're five points ahead, we're into the second half of the league now and we can keep Dundalk at arm's length'.Listen to the RTÉ Soccer podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.We need your consent to load this YouTube contentWe use YouTube to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.
