AARON CALLAGHAN wants his Bohemians players to manage their anger and right the wrongs of Iceland when UCD visit Dalymount Park tomorrow afternoon.

The game can’t come quickly enough for Bohemians following their nightmare exit from the Europa League in Thursday’s 5-1 defeat to Thór Akureyri.

“We are a wounded animal now,” said manager Callaghan. “We can hope that the lads take stock of what happened on Thursday night and put a bit of anger into the performance.”

Drogheda United will hope that St Patrick’s Athletic may be feeling the effects of their extra-time exertions in Iceland on Thursday when they travel to Richmond Park tomorrow.

A fourth successive win would see in-form Drogheda leapfrog St Patrick’s into second place.
