As the countdown to tomorrow night’s Clearer Water Irish Cup semi-final continues, all at Cliftonville Football Club are looking forward to seeing and hearing the Red Army at their passionate best.

As Jim Magilton and his players bid to reach the Final for the third year in succession, they will enter into battle with Dungannon Swifts backed by a vociferous crowd who have snapped up tickets for the occasion with typical fervour.

The songs and chants that emanate from both decks of the North Stand of the Clearer Twist Stadium will be vital in inspiring our team for what promises to be a rigorous test against the Cup holders and, with supporters playing an enthusiastic role in our #WrapUpInRed campaign, a memorable night is in store for fans of all ages.
