A total of 32 players will be suspended for the opening round of the 2015 SSE Airtricity League, it was revealed this morning.

Fifteen players will miss the first game of next season because of four bookings received in 2014.

Under league regulations, suspensions for four yellow cards can carry over until the following campaign.

Five will serve additional bans from red cards.

Shamrock Rovers are the club set to suffer the most, with at least four players banned for their first league game, including new signings Gavin Brennan and Keith Fahey.

Stephen McPhail will make it five players to miss out for the Hoops if he returns to Tallaght next year, with a one-match ban left to serve.
