Manager's Perspective
Jim Magilton admits Cliftonville face a 'stark contrast' between their opening two league wins and the Boyle Sports Premiership clash with Linfield. The Reds' victory over Crusaders and Bangor was followed by a 3-0 home defeat to Ballymena United, but the manager remains confident.

The manager praised his players' confidence but warned of the difficulty of facing Linfield, who beat Glentoran last Saturday.
