Six pack

Cliftonville’s 2-1 victory over Portadown this evening mathematically confirmed the Reds’ place in the top half of the Danske Bank Premiership and, as well as providing some insight into the team’s post-split schedule, ensures that the Club are at the very least guaranteed a Play-Off place for next season’s UEFA Europa Conference League.

The two-way split will take effect following the 33rd round of fixtures next Saturday, April 24, when teams in the respective halves of the table will compete with one another for the Gibson Cup, European qualification and continental Play-Off positions.

With five teams currently confirmed for top six berths, Cliftonville will have two home games and two away games, with the location of one other match to be determined by the final participant, while the specific order of fixtures will be confirmed in due course.
