    GOAL - Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Cliftonvillepublished at 20:02 GMT 13 February

    Steven Scott (17 mins)

    What a strike!

    Adam Glenny surges down the left and finds Corey Smith, who tees up Steven Scott to rifle a stunning effort past Lewis Ridd from distance.

    Rodney McAree’s men have started brighter, and that goal is no more than they deserve.

    Jonny Addis searches for Brian Healy with a direct ball over the top, but Adam Glenny is alert to the danger and tidies up for the hosts.

    The Swifts are content to sit deep and allow the visitors to knock it around at the back.

    Jim Magilton is on the edge of his technical area, frantically urging his side to move the ball with more urgency.

    Tiernan Kelly reads Jonny Addis’ pass and nips in to intercept before driving purposefully into space and drilling in a low effort that Lewis Ridd smothers.

    Corey Smith stands up a teasing cross to the back post where Tiernan Kelly climbs well, but his header loops over the crossbar.

    We’re under way at Stangmore Park.

    The hosts took the points when these sides last met here. Can they do it again, or will the Reds make it three wins on the bounce in all competitions?

  13. 'Nothing in it' - Higgins dismisses Wigan linkspublished at 19:41 GMT 13 February

    Dungannon Swifts v Cliftonville (19:45 GMT)

    Coleraine boss Ruaidhri Higgins dismissed rumours linking him with the vacant Wigan Athletic job.

    The Latics are on the hunt for a new manager after Ryan Lowe was sacked after 11 months in charge on Saturday.

    But Higgins, who took over as Bannsiders boss in May last year, says there is "nothing in" talk of him being considered as a potential candidate for the League One side.

    "I've seen that myself. My phone has been hopping for the last day or two from people sending me stuff. There is nothing in it," he told BBC Sport NI.

    "I'm in this job six or seven months I have a brilliant owner, brilliant chief exec, brilliant staff and brilliant players. The club going in the right direction and I'm so happy here, the happiest I have been in a long time.

    "You don't really expect it [to be linked with the Wigan job] but my full focus is on this football club and how we fulfil our potential.

    "There's nothing to report on that whatsoever."

  18. Magilton wary of wounded Swiftspublished at 19:19 GMT 13 February

    Dungannon Swifts v Cliftonville (19:45 GMT)

    Cliftonville boss Jim Magilton is wary that Dungannon Swifts will be out to produce an "immediate response" when they face the Reds at Stangmore Park on Friday night.

    Rodney McAree's side suffered a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Linfield on Tuesday while Magilton's team picked up a moral-boosting 3-1 win over Bangor.

    As a result, Magilton expects the Swifts to come out fighting at home as they look to make up for their Windsor Park humbling.

    "Well, at the very least, I’m expecting a tough game. It’s always difficult going down there. They’re a really good side, and if you lose 6-0, you’re going to look for an immediate response," he told BBC Sport NI.

    "Rodney will definitely have them fired up, especially after Tuesday result. They’ve always been tough opponents for us, and we know what to expect.

    "We’ll need to match that intensity and present ourselves in a way that gives us the best chance of getting a result."
