Cliftonville boss Paddy McLaughlin has praised his players for teeing up a “big European night at Solitude” thanks to Thursday night’s narrow 2-1 defeat in Slovakia.
The Reds may have lost the first leg of their Europa Conference League first qualifying round showdown with FC DAC at the MOL Arena.
But Ronan Hale’s first half strike and a disciplined performance leaves the Solitude men with everything to play for in North Belfast next Thursday.
