Ollie Horgan has said that Finn Harps will have to ‘improve and be more consistent’ in the second part of the season if they are to survive in the Premier Division.
After a week off and following a seven-game haul in their last three games, Harps welcome Shamrock Rovers to Ballybofey on Friday night as their battle for safety continues.

Harps are eighth in the table, but just nine points separate Limerick in sixth and the bottom side, Galway United.
“It could have been better, but it could have been worse,” Horgan observed of his team’s first half of the season.
“One or two wins shoots you up, one or two losses puts you back down again. The more teams that will be in that fight, the better.”
Three teams will be relegated this year as the League reverts to a ten-team Premier Division for the 2018 season.
Horgan said: “We need to improve and we need to be more consistent that we have been. Hopefully it is going to be a big fight. Other teams will probably kick on and we need to do that too.
“It isn’t an easy place to be, but no-one signed up to it thinking that it would be easy.”
