LOI Preview: Can Shelbourne end their wait for the title?

The 2024 Airtricity League of Ireland comes to an end on Friday, with the title race going down to the wire between Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers.

Shelbourne have been the story of the season, as they have topped the table for the majority of the campaign, and go into Friday's game against Derry knowing victory will win them the title.

A game that was seen as a title decider months in advance, Derry's drop if form means they are out of the race, with defeat last week against St Patrick's Athletic sealing their fate.

After a difficult start to the season, Shamrock Rovers have come back into contention, and should they defeat Waterford and Shelbourne lose to Derry, they will win their fifth league title in a row.
