    Glentoran 1-0 Coleraine

    This happened the last time Aaron McCarey was standing at this end of the ground against Coleraine.

    One of the most iconic images in Irish League history. It'll take a lot to match that drama this evening.

  3. McDonagh close with curlerpublished at 21:02 GMT 25 January 2022

    Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    Jamie McDonagh is displaying the range of his shooting ability.

    Having scored in the first half with a firm low drive, he has just tested Chris Johns with a lovely 20-yard curler that was heading for the top corner until the Linfield keeper got across to save comfortably in the end.

    Warrenpoint Town 0-3 Larne

    John Herron extends Larne's advantage at Milltown to leave Warrenpoint facing another league defeat.

    The midfielder - now happily recovered following a recent heart scare - arrives with perfect timing to head home from Ben Doherty's free kick.

  6. The old one-two...published at 21:00 GMT 25 January 2022

    Warrenpoint Town 0-2 Larne

    Two goals that won't win many awards for beauty but do you think that David McDaid and Lee Bonis - who is off the mark for his new club - will worry too much about that?

  7. CLOSE!published at 20:57 GMT 25 January 2022

    Glentoran 1-0 Coleraine

    It's nearly two for Glentoran and two for Michael O'Connor.

    It's a near identical effort to his goal in the first half as the ball is chipped across goal but this time Stephen O'Donnell gets in the way to block the danger at the far post.

    Portadown 0-0 Crusaders

    Crusaders' Ross Clarke with an effort at the right hand side of the edge of the box but he fires over.

    At the other end a snapshot from an acute angle from distance from Ports striker Adam Salley flies wide.

    Still awaiting the opener.

    Glentoran 1-0 Coleraine

    It's been a slow start to the second half in east Belfast but Conor McMenamin attempts to bring it into life with a long range effort, which is easily pushed away by Gareth Deane.

  10. Curran on for McDermottpublished at 20:53 GMT 25 January 2022

    Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    One change at the break and it's by the home side, with club captain Chris Curran on for full-back Conor McDermott.

    Could be an interesting second half ahead at Solitude.

  13. McCann sacked as Hull managerpublished at 20:42 GMT 25 January 2022

    Former NI midfielder leaves Championship club

    Championship side Hull City have sacked manager Grant McCann, less than a week after they were taken over by the Turkey-based Acun Medya Group.

    McCann, 41, was in his third season in charge of the Tigers, having steered the club back to the Championship last term following relegation.

    He departs the Tigers despite back-to-back wins which moved the club 10 points clear of the relegation zone.

    "These matters are never easy," chairman and owner Acun Ilicali said.

    "During the process, Grant has always remained professional and fully focused on the team, and will forever be a friend of the Tigers. I'm sure Grant will be successful in whatever his next challenge is."

  14. Dundee sign McGinn from Aberdeenpublished at 20:38 GMT 25 January 2022

    NI winger joins club on 18-month deal

    Niall McGinn has joined Dundee from Aberdeen on an 18-month deal.

    The Northern Ireland winger, 34, was in his second spell at Pittodrie, having re-joined from Gwangju in 2017.

    McGinn has scored 112 goals in 529 club appearances and netted six times in 67 games for his country.

    And he could make his debut for second-bottom Dundee in Wednesday's Scottish Premiership meeting with St Johnstone, who are two points below James McPake's side.

    After spells with Dungannon Swifts and Derry City, McGinn joined Celtic in 2009 and left for Aberdeen three years later, shortly after a loan spell at Brentford.

    Quote Message

    There has been very little between the sides in that first half. Cliftonville have probably been that little bit livelier in the final third and shaded it. There has been very little quality in the game, though, and Linfield manager David Healy will be telling his players that they need to do better in the second half.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:37 GMT 25 January 2022

    Warrenpoint Town 0-2 Larne

    Those two quickfire goals have turned an already uphill task for Warrenpoint into one of Everest-like proportions for the bottom side.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 GMT 25 January 2022

    Glenavon 0-1 Dungannon Swifts

    Glenavon's wastefulness in front of goal comes back to bite them as they trail to Rhyss Campbell's goal.

    The Swifts - who are absolutely buoyant at present - had openings of their own as well but manager Dean Shiels will be delighted to lead at the break.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 GMT 25 January 2022

    Portadown 0-0 Crusaders

    Neither side able to break the deadlock in the first half.

    Hoping for better after the break.

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 GMT 25 January 2022

    Carrick Rangers 1-0 Ballymena Utd

    Carrick go in a goal to the good at half-time as they chase a first league win in 10 games.

    Can Ballymena fight back after the interval?

  20. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:33 GMT 25 January 2022

    Cliftonville 1-0 Linfield

    The pace may have dropped after a fast start to the game, but Cliftonville won't mind that as they go in a goal up at the interval.

    It was a fine strike from Jamie McDonagh that gave them that lead in the 15th minute, but there have not been many opportunities at either end since.

    What does Linfield manager David Healy do at half-time? He won't panic, of course, but will he be tempted to change the shape or personnel?
