Newry City are going for glory tonight as they bid to book their place in next season’s Danske Bank Premiership.

Darren Mullen’s side take a one-goal advantage into the second leg of their promotion/relegation play-off with Carrick Rangers.

It all went to plan for the Championship runners-up after a shaky start to their first leg at the Showgrounds.

Two goals down, they fought back to win 3-2.

The game kicks off at the Louughshore Hotel Arena tonight at 7.45.

Meanwhile, there are two key Europa League play-offs tonight.

Linfield are at Windsor Park where they take on Glentoran in their play-off semi-final with the other semi featuring Irish Cup beaten finalists Cliftonville at home to Ballymena United.

These games also have a 7.45 ko.
