Paddy McCourt is an injury doubt for Derry City's Uefa Cup second qualifying round second leg against Gretna on Thursday at the Brandywell.

McCourt only recently returned to action after injury and he has missed training in recent days.

Derry, 5-1 up from the first leg, are already without Peter Hutton and Killian Brennan but Stephen O'Flynn is available after suspension.

Recent Gretna signing Colin McMenamin is not registered for the Uefa Cup.

However, Kenny Deuchar will be available for the Scottish club despite being sent off in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ross County while David Graham could make his first start of the season.

Deuchar said that the Gretna players were determined to do themselves justice at the Brandywell after the first leg embarrassment.

"Obviously it was a not a good result in the first leg but everyone is looking forward to it," said Deuchar.

People pay money in and we will not try to kill the game

Derry City manager Stephen Kenny

"We've just got to go out and prove we can play and try to enjoy it.

"We want to do ourselves justice in this leg and hopefully give a good account of ourselves."

Derry boss Stephen Kenny has ruled out a defensive display from his team.

"It is our nature to go out and have a go and that should be good enough to take us through," he said.

"People pay money in and we will not try to kill the game.

"Gretna will be having a go throughout the game but we can counter attack with pace and cause them problems.

"Also, the fact that it's a full-house, it's at the Brandywell and we want to preserve our 100% record eliminates any complacency.

"Gretna are a strong side and we had a great win over there - it does not mean it will happen here."
