Paddy McLaughlin reckons it can suit Cliftonville to remain in Linfield’s slipstream as the title race enters the final straight.
The Reds boss was disappointed his attack failed to fire against Larne on Saturday at Solitude, drawing 0-0 when a win would have taken them to the summit with just three games to go.
But it could have been worse for McLaughlin’s men had defender Luke Turner not produced a brilliant goal line clearance from a Davy McDaid shot or if Andrew Mitchell hadn’t fluffed a headed chance in injury-time.
