Glenavon travels to North Belfast on Saturday to face perennial Sports Direct Premiership top six finisher, Cliftonville. Although the surroundings at Solitude will be familiar, Gary Hamilton reckons that the fixture has something of the unknown about it.
“This is Jim Magilton’s first game, as a manager, in our league,” he explained. “It is unclear what way he is going to ask his team to play or, indeed, who will be in it. Obviously, we have been keeping an eye on them in pre-season but that might mean nothing. We’ll have to wait to see what way he sets up.”
