In the League of Ireland Premier Division last night, leaders Shamrock Rovers were beaten 1-nil away to Dundalk.

St Pat's are up to second after a 1-nil win over Shelbourne.

Bohemians are third following a 2-1 victory over Drogheda United.

Elsewhere, Waterford and Derry City finished level at 2 goals each.

Tonight, Sligo Rovers are at home to Galway United from quarter to eight.

One of the most dramatic days in Scottish Premiership history awaits as Celtic and Hearts go head-to-head for the title at Parkhead this lunchtime.

The visitors to Glasgow have a one-point lead at the top of the table and only need a draw to take the trophy.

They'd become the first side - other than Celtic or Rangers - to win the league in over 40 years.

Aston Villa have sealed a place in next season's Champions League thanks to a 4-2 victory over Liverpool.

It moves them above their opponents to fourth in the Premier League and seven points clear of sixth placed Bournemouth.

Chelsea and Manchester City meet at Wembley this afternoon in the FA Cup final.

City have already won this season's EFL Cup - and have faint hopes of completing the treble.

Rugby

Glasgow secured top spot in the United Rugby Championship with a narrow 26-22 win at Ulster.

Connacht beat Edinburgh by 26-5 and are into the quarter finals.

Today Munster must beat Lions in Thomond Park to advance to the quarter finals.

A win for Leinster over Ospreys will give them home venue for the quarters.

Golf

In golf, Rory McIlroy is five shots off the halfway lead in the PGA Championship after a bogey-free second round of 67.

Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry are also through to the weekend. Tom McKibbin didnt't make the cut.
