BANBRIDGE RANGERS
Meanwhile, back in league action, Banbridge Rangers host St Mary’s at Cheney Park.
This one is a proverbial six-pointer with Rangers going into the game sitting just two points above their opponents, who have a game in hand.
The Gers go into the game off the back of a four league game unbeaten run and are fresh from their impressive victory over Crewe United with a threadbare squad.

RATHFRILAND RANGERS
In the Amateur League, Rathfriland Rangers travel to face Crumlin United. The Whites are in top form after their 5-1 win last weekend. They’re third bottom in the table but have only played seven games. Their opponents have lost just once in the league so far and so the Gers know they’ll have to be at their best to get a result.
SCARVA RANGERS
It’s been a tough old road for Scarva Rangers in Division One this season. The recently promoted side have struggled to come to terms with their new league, having lost all 12 of their games this campaign.
Nonetheless, they go again looking to get off the mark on Saturday as they host a high-flying Dungannon Rovers side.
