    Crusaders 0-0 Coleraine

    Mal Smith lets fly from distance with a thunderous effort that has Rory Brown beaten, only to crash against the crossbar and over.

    This one's already living up to its billing, with both sides carving out clear opportunities in an eventful opening fifteen minutes at Seaview.

    Crusaders 0-0 Coleraine

    Jacob Blaney's hesitation proves costly as the ball gets tangled beneath him.

    Jamie McGonigle pounces on the error and races clear but drags his effort wide of the target.

    A golden opportunity goes begging for the Bannsiders as the hosts breathe another sigh of relief. Two clear chances now for the away side, who will wonder how they aren't in front.

    Jack Scott threads a sublime pass through the Crues' defence, finding Jamie McGonigle in space.

    Landmark night for Joe the Goal

    It's a huge landmark appearance for Joe Gormley, who will pull on the Cliftonville shirt for the 500th time this evening.

    His goalscoring record is something else. He's netted 278 goals in his 499 games so far.

    He's called Joe the Goal for a reason, and he'll look to add to that this evening against Bangor, who are flying high in the Championship.

    Manager Dean Shiels says Coleraine are taking Tuesday's BetMcLean Cup second-round tie away to Crusaders "very seriously".

    The Bannsiders last won the League Cup in 2020, which was the club's last trophy.

    Coleraine defeated Ballinamallard United 4-0 in the first round while Crusaders edged past Ballyclare Comrades 3-2.

    "We want to go there and try to progress to get a cup run," said Shiels.

    "You are only three or four games away from a cup final. That's the way of looking at it."

    Shiels admits it is a "very difficult draw" for his side, but he wants his team to carry their recent momentum into the match.

    "It's a tough game but we do feel good about ourselves at the moment.

    "We look like a team that is motivated and we will go there hungry to try and progress."

    It's nearly time for the second round of the BetMcLean Cup.

    We've already had a couple of shocks in the opening round, with Carrick Rangers exiting the competition and Ballymena United surviving a huge scare against Rathfriland Rangers.

    With Larne in European action later this week and Linfield's derby with Glentoran also pushed back, we have six last-16 ties to bring you this evening.

    We'll have live updates and clips from Coleraine's trip to Crusaders, along with the latest scores from the other five matches.
