This season has been a difficult one for Shamrock Rovers, with the Hoops looking like a pale shadow of the dominant side they previously were on the domestic front.
Their League of Ireland Premier Division campaign has yet to catch fire, with the club sitting in fifth place and ten points behind leaders Shelbourne. A 1-1 draw with Drogheda last night was the latest in a long string of disappointing results.
Shamrock Rovers have fared a bit better in European competition, although they will go into Thursday’s Europa League qualifier against Celje trailing 1-0 after the first leg in Slovenia.
Ahead of that game, there had been rumblings that the club could be about to make a high profile addition to the squad. However, those rumours have now been shot down.

Keiren Westwood was linked with a move to Shamrock Rovers in recent seasons, at one point looking likely to join the club in 2023. While that deal would not go through, there was some speculation after the former Ireland goalkeeper was spotted in the stands for last night’s game.
Speaking after the match, Stephen Bradley insisted that there was no possibility of him joining the club’s playing squad, with Westwood looking to move into coaching at some point in the near future.
No. I met Kieren last week or the week before for a coffee.
His wife or his girlfriend lives locally. (Her) family are local in Knocklyon, so no. Gary Deegan is good friends from Coventry.
No, he’s not going to be playing. He’s looking more at doing the coaching route.
Keiren Westwood joined Crewe Alexandra on a short-term deal earlier this year, having been out of the game for over a year prior to that after his exit from QPR.
The 39-year old earned 21 caps for Ireland during his international career, the last of which came in 2017.
