Form belief

Mark McKee says that, while there can be no under-estimation of Ballymena United, he has faith Cliftonville can maintain their fine form by focusing on their own performance tomorrow.

The Reds haven’t dropped a Danske Bank Premiership point since suffering a 2-1 reverse at the Sky Blues’ hands in late September and McKee – who marked his first start for the Club with the opening goal in last week’s defeat of Warrenpoint Town – is well aware of the threat he and his team mates will face at Solitude.

“Every team has the potential to cause problems and especially Ballymena,” says the midfielder.

“They’d a great year last year. It’s just about how we deal with them on the day.

“We’re on a good run at the minute and I’m fairly sure if we play to our potential, we’ll get the win that we need and keep the run going.”
