The month ahead: February

Cliftonville face six fixtures across two competitions during a busy February – and it all kicks off with next Saturday’s Clearer Water Irish Cup sixth round clash with Glenavon at Solitude.

The Reds then welcome Bangor on Sports Direct Premiership duty on the 10th before back-to-back Mid-Ulster assignments see Jim Magilton take his side to tackle Dungannon Swifts on Friday the 13th ahead of a Shamrock Park encounter with Portadown four days later.

Saturday, February 21 sees Solitude stage the League’s 200th North Belfast Derby ahead of hosting a midweek clash with Glentoran on the 24th – so be sure that all of those dates are in your diary as we gear up for another big run of matches.
