"Shamrock Rovers issues an appeal to all supporters not to congregate around Tallaght Stadium on Wednesday evening," reads the official statement from the club.
"Following discussions with An Garda Síochána, the club asks that all supporters observe health and safety advice as we remain in level 5 lockdown and refrain from gathering around the stadium at the league trophy presentation on Wednesday.

"In addition, the season will not end on Wednesday, we have more league and cup games to go and the squad will remain focussed on the targets ahead. We will party when it is safe to do so."
