MATCH PROGRAMME
A souvenir edition of the Inver Read will be available for supporters to purchase as they arrive at the stadium on Thursday evening. Priced at just £4, this Europa Conference League edition will include exclusive interviews with Leroy Millar and Tiernan Lynch alongside features such as Rohan Ferguson’s lookback on Larne in Europe and a detailed preview of our opponents.
Our Champions League edition of the Inver Read sold out well in advance of kick-off a couple of weeks back so be quick to secure yours at Solitude on the night.
OUR OPPONENTS
Just like the Invermen, FC Ballkani haven’t played a competitive game since last week’s 1st leg of the tie with their domestic season yet to kick-off. The Kosovan outfit will come to Belfast full of confidence after their 3-0 first-leg victory in Prishtina last week.
THE INVER REDS
The Inver Reds face an uphill battle after last week’s 3-0 1st leg defeat and have it all to do if they are to progress further in the competition. With the elements more in Tiernan Lynch’s men’s favour compared to last week, the side will give it a good go to see where it takes them on Thursday evening.
After picking up three yellow cards in European competition so far this season, Shaun Want is suspended for tomorrow night’s game.
