The Injuries to Simon Kelly (calf) and Andrew Doyle, who hurt his back at work this week, force a defensive reshuffle for Glenavon. It’s looking like James Singleton will move to the centre of defence alongside Caolan Marron with Bobby Burns at left back.

Sammy Clingan is restored to centre midfield after sitting out Monday night’s match on the 3G pitch at Solitude and Andy Hall comes back on the right wing. Andrew Mitchell and Stephen Murray continue up front and new signing Eric Foley is among the substitutes.

Rodney McAree makes five changes to the starting line-up from Tuesday night’s League Cup semifinal against Crusaders which went to extra time. Paul McElroy, Ryan Harpur and David Armstrong drop to the bench while Daniel Hughes makes his debut for the Swifts.
