    Irish Premiership - Carrick Rangers v Bangor (19:45 GMT)

    Carrick and Bangor make a second attempt to play a fixture which was abandoned in September due to a serious injury to Carrick’s Paul Heatley.

    There’s no Heatley tonight – he, along with team-mate Matthew Snoddy, is suspended after both collected their fifth yellow card in last weekend’s win at Portadown.

    They are replaced by Aidan Steele and Kyle Cherry as Carrick aim for a fourth straight league win which would catapult them into the top half of the table.

    Bangor boss Lee Feeney’s numbers are boosted as he welcomes back Lewis Harrison, Tiarnan Mulvenna and Stephen McGuinness from suspension, while Stephen Fallon was ineligible to play against his parent club Coleraine.

    Harrison and Fallon go straight into the starting line-up along with Jay Boyd, while Iestyn Hughes, Robbie Garrett and Ben Arthurs have to settle for a place on the bench.

    Carrick Rangers: Pengelly, Place, Burns, McCullough, Buchanan-Rolleston, McKay, Crowe, Cherry, Steele, Lecky, Gibson.

    Subs: Donnelly, Glendinning, McCawl, Hawthorne, Olosunde, Jeffers, Moore.

    Bangor: Deane, Lynch, Francis, Mitchell, Neale, Harrison, Hassin, Fallon, Cushnie, Morgan, Boyd.

    Subs: Solis Grogan, Owens, Mulvenna, Arthurs, Garrett, McGuinness, Hughes.

    BetMcLean semi-final - Glentoran v Coleraine (19:45 GMT)

    The rain is teeming down here at the Oval, but the pitch looks to be in good condition and we are set to have a game this time around after last week's cancellation.

    Declan Devine makes six changes to the Glentoran side that defeated Dungannon Swifts 2-0 on Saturday. Goalkeeper Billy Crellin gets a run in goal, while Daniel Larmour, skipper Marcus Kane, Ryan Cooney; Liam Burt and Jordan Jenkins are all drafted into the team,

    Fresh from watching his Coleraine side win away to Bangor on Saturday, manager Ruaidhri Higgins is more conservative in his approach to this evening's game, making just the two changes. In come defender Levi Ives and Cameron Stewart as the Bannsiders push for a first cup final since their League Cup final defeat to Linfield in March 2023.

    Glentoran: Crellin, Singleton, Larmour, Kane (c), Cooney, Palmer, Thomson, Burt, Stewart, Hoban, Jenkins.

    Subs: Mills, Amos, Douglas, McEneff, McCann, Rogers-Duffy, Connolly.

    Coleraine: Schofield, Ives, Boyle, Shevlin, Cooper, Dunne (c), McDonald, Wylie, Coyle, Akintunde, Stewart.

    Subs: Webb, Kane, Jarvis, McGonigle, Okoro, Watson, Connolly.
