Result: Derry City 2 v Gretna 2 FT

Gretna Good Value For Consolation Victory
Manager Rowan Alexander says he never wants to leave Gretna. Gretna's UEFA Cup debut didn't go as planned, with a 5:1 drubbing in the 1st leg to Derry City all but ending their hopes of further progress in the competition.

Tonight's 2nd leg does at least offer them the chance to make amends for that
performance and although they are highly unlikely to turn the tie round, they could be capable of restoring some pride. Gretna were favourites for the 1st leg, so it seems that the bookies may have gone a little overboard in taking a view against Rowan Alexander's team in Ireland.

Derry are certainly no mugs and currently leading the way domestically, but they may see this game as one in which to take their foot off the gas a little, thus allowing Gretna to secure the win.

At 100-30 with Coral, Gretna look to be worth a small punt to exact some form of revenge.
