Reds manager Tommy Breslin didn’t get his man Darren Murray in the end

IT’S the game of the day at Shamrock Park.

Portadown play host to Cliftonville in the mouth watering fixture for both sides.

And it will have the wee bit of extra bite to it now that Darren Murray has withdrawn his transfer request and is staying put at Portadown.

It will please his manager Ronnie McFall but won’t exactly help Reds manager Tommy Breslin.

He was hoping Murray would have joined his north Belfast team as a replacement for Joe ‘The Goal’ Gormley who signed in the summer for Peterborough Utd.

In other games, Linfield, who top the league on goal difference, play host to Dungannon Swifts at Windsor Park.

Crusaders host Ballinamallard at Seaview hope to stay on course to retain their title despite losing the opening game of the season.
