Shane has been rock solid all season and impressed recently in both Europa League ties against Trabzonspor, while his younger brother has been in sparkling form last week at UCD producing a tremendous display alongside Ruaidhri Higgins in centre-midfield.

Tomorrow evening the Candystripes welcome Mick Cooke’s side to the Brandywell and Devine knows his side will have to be at their best if they harbour any thoughts of gaining three points.

Devine spoke to Sentinel Sport’s Editor Kevin McLaughlin ahead of training on Wednesday.
