Danny Gibson's strike from range proves a comfortable save for Aaron McCarey.

Despite a few half chances for Stephen Baxter's side, it's been a quiet opening to this game.

The away side are awarded a corner in the opening minute of the game, but Portadown clear Kyle Cherry's delivery.

Here we go!

Seanan Clucas gets the ball rolling.

The teams are out on the pitch and it's nearly time for the final Irish Premiership match of the day.

Can Carrick Rangers register back-to-back victories for the first time this season or will the home side get back to winning ways?

It's all over at Mourneview where Coleraine complete a hat-trick of league wins for the first time this season thanks to sub Declan McManus' pinpoint free-kick with 10 minutes remaining.

It's a first league success at Glenavon for Coleraine since August 2019 and sees them climb into the top half of the table.

Glenavon had their chances but failed to break down a well organised Coleraine defence.

A wonderful free-kick from Declan McManus gives Coleraine a late lead.

A handsome victory for Ballymena, who reach the 40-point mark in the Premiership table.

It's a rare off-day for Dungannon, who never really recovered from the double-whammy of that early red card for goalkeeper Declan Dunne, compounded almost immediately by Patrick McEleney giving Ballymena the lead from the resultant free kick.

The away side takes all three points, but they were made to work for it.

Paul O’Neill’s early deflected strike proved to be the difference, though the champions will feel they should have added more, with Tiarnan O’Connor and Sean Graham both squandering big chances.

Loughgall, despite going down to ten men after Robbie Norton’s dismissal, battled to the end and even had glimpses of an equaliser, with Lee McMenemy and Kirk McLaughlin going close.

Niall Currie makes two changes to the starting XI who were defeated 2-0 by Coleraine last weekend and brings in Ben Wylie and James Teelan in midfield. Ryan Mayse and Rabby Minzamba both drop to the bench.

There is just the one alteration to the Carrick Rangers side who registered their first league victory of 2025 mid-week against Larne with Ethan Boyle replacing Ben Buchanan-Rolleston, who is among the substitutes.

Portadown: McCarey, Altinop, Chapman, McCullough, Ukek, Obhakhan, Teelan, McCartan, Wylie, Thompson, Isamala.

Subs: Williamson, Wilson, McElroy, Mayse, Fyfe, Traynor, Minzamba.

Carrick Rangers: McIntyre, Forsythe, Maciulaitis, McCullough, Clucas, Crowe, Gibson, Cherry, Boyle, O'Brien,, O'Malley.

Subs: Mather, Watson, Cushley, Buchanan-Rolleston, Forbes, Hastings, O'Reilly.
