    Glentoran v Crusaders (19:45 GMT)

    Good evening and welcome to tonight's coverage of the second round of the BetMcLean Cup which will feature live text commentary and in-play clips from the big Belfast derby between Glentoran and Crusaders at the Oval, plus updates from the night's other five ties.

    While the meeting of last year's beaten finalists and Declan Caddell's side takes top billing, the other games involve some intriguing match-ups which could just deliver a shock or two.

    In the second all-Premiership tie, Larne face Bangor at Inver Park just 10 days after the sides drew 1-1 at the same venue in the league.

    Ballymena United play host to Championship side Newington in a repeat of their County Antrim Shield quarter-final encounter three weeks ago which saw the top flight team emerge narrow 1-0 winners at Inver.

    Coleraine are also at home to Championship opposition in the form of Armagh City, while Dungannon Swifts entertain Premier Intermediate League pacesetters Moyola Park.

    Another Premier Intermediate League team, Newry City, enjoy home advantage over Premiership basement side Glenavon.

    We'll keep you up to date with all the drama as it unfolds so stay with us throughout the evening, you won't miss a thing.
