LOI reflections | Premier League relegation scrap
00:00

Gavin Cooney is joined by Shane Keegan to reflect on the weekend's League of Ireland action. The lads discuss Shelbourne's struggles, high-flyers St Patrick's Athletic, Derry CIty vs Shamrock Rovers, and a big win for Sligo Rovers.


Elsewhere, the lads praise the drama of the Scottish Premiership run-in and Finn Azaz' Wembley stunner, before turning their attention to predicting who will fail in their battle to survive relegation from the Premier League.
