Derry City started life at Celtic Park with a hard-fought 1-0 win over champions Shamrock Rovers. James Clarke's first-half strike was enough for the Candystripes to make it back-to-back victories for the first time this campaign and ensure they now sit just three points behind fourth-placed Bohemians.
