Declan O'Hara admitted the last few weeks had been "madness" but the interim Cliftonville boss is still hopeful of achieving his objective of securing European football for the club.
O'Hara stepped in to fill the void after Paddy McLaughlin left the Reds to take the Assistant Manager's role at Derry City.
It has so far gone to plan for O'Hara, who has brought Marc Smyth and Davy McAlinden into his coaching panel, as Cliftonville won their play-off semi-final against Coleraine to set-up a winner-takes-all shootout with Glentoran at The Oval on Saturday.
