Tried and tested

Chris Curran expects a typically stern test from a “well organised” Carrick Rangers side tomorrow.

All of Cliftonville’s Danske Bank Premiership encounters with the east Antrim side have been closely-fought affairs over the last few years and the skipper says the Reds would be naive to expect anything different this weekend.

“They are a really good side, they’re really well organised and they’ve signed well,” says Curran.

“We won’t be taking them lightly at all. Every time we’ve played them, especially in the League games, they’ve been a tough test for us and we won’t be taking anything for granted. We will be giving them all the respect they deserve.”

You can read the full Curran interview in tomorrow’s edition of our Matchday Magazine, which will be on sale at Solitude for £3.
