Warren factions

Daniel Hughes says he will have no divided loyalties when Cliftonville take on Warrenpoint Town tomorrow.

The 25-year-old striker contributed to the County Down outfit’s meteoric rise through the standings of Irish League football and, as he and boss Barry Gray – who coordinated the Milltown revolution from the sidelines – prepare to lock horns with their former employers for the first time since moving to Solitude, Hughes insists he’s fully focussed on delivering for the Reds.

“There won’t be any mixed feelings,” he says.

“I’ll look at it like any other game. We’re going into it to look for three points like previous games. Nothing changes in that regard, it’s important to keep the focus and not matter who the opposition is – put it to the back of our heads and get on with it.”

You can read the full Hughes interview in this weekend’s edition of our Matchday Magazine, which will be on sale at Solitude for £2.50.
