RUAIDHRI Higgins labelled yesterday’s defeat at Cliftonville ‘a really disappointed result’ after they lost out at Solitude…

A first-half from Rory Hale proved to be the difference as the Bannsiders failed to have anything to show for their efforts.

Higgins stated that his side lost a grip of the game after the opening 15 minutes and that they got into good areas on several occasions but they lacked the killer instinct in the final third to unlock the door.

The gaffer also discussed the omission of Levi Ives from the matchday squad and how they want to respond in Tuesday night’s home clash against Larne.
