RUAIDHRI Higgins discussed tomorrow night’s Irish Cup tie in a pre-match chat with Coleraine TV…

The Bannsiders meet Crusaders in the fifth-round of the competition under the lights at The Showgrounds.

Higgins stated how the squad is excited for the challenge ahead but warned that his side need to be at their best as the Hatchetmen are in their best run of form this season.

The Coleraine chief confirmed that Lewis McGregor looks set to miss the rest of the season with injury, with no good news forthcoming regarding the fitness of Jamie Glackin and Lyndon Kane.

Coleraine won their last game on the Ballycastle Road (a 3-1 success vs Linfield) and Higgins for a similar outcome against Declan Caddell’s side.
