Ross Redman hopes it’s third time lucky as he plots a first ever Irish Cup triumph in Saturday’s Samuel Gelston’s Irish Cup final with Crusaders at Windsor Park.
The experienced defender has suffered the pain of defeat twice before in the showpiece, losing out with former club Portadown in 2010 and 2015.
He was on the end of a 2-1 defeat to Linfield in the 2010 final and a controversial 1-0 loss to Glentoran at the Oval five years later.
