McAree in Coleraine hot-seat for visit of league leaders Linfield
Glenavon take on champions Crusaders
Rodney McAree takes charge of his first game as Coleraine manager today (Saturday).
The Bannsiders face Linfield, the in-form Danske Bank Premiership leaders.
Coleraine currently lie in third place – five points behind the Blues but with a game in hand.
McAree outlines the challenges he faces in the role on our latest Cool FM Facebook show.
But the former Dungannon Swfits boss is convinced he has inherited a team capable of “winning every game” and significantly, the title which just eluded them last season.
Currently, Coleraine and Linfield remain the only unbeaten sides in the league.
Elsewhere, second-placed Glenavon entertain champions, Crusaders, at Mourneview Park.
Crues keeper, Sean O’Neill believes they will turn around their disappointing start to the season – they currently lie sixth.
Speaking on our Facebook show, he says Crusaders should “never” be written off.
Cliftonville are at home to Ballymena with the Swifts, currently bottom of the table without a single win this season, take on Ards at Stangmore Park.
Finally, Glentoran, unbeaten in their last five games, will be hoping to build on their current form by beating Institute.
All of the games kick off at 3pm.
