Glebe Rangers are next to face United

In fact at the start of last week Glebe parted company with their manager Derek Donaghy and have still not replaced him.

Rangers are currently thirteenth in the Championship just above basement boys Armagh City having won only two league games this season.

They are fully 21 points behind the Roesiders and have played two games more than them in the league this season.

Glebe are the second lowest scorers in the division with only thirteen and having conceded a massive 43 goals in their 14 games.

They have only won once in their last six games and their last game ended in a 6-1 defeat away to Ballyclare Comrades.

Despite their poor run of form and the fact that they currently have no manager Roesiders boss Oran Kearney is still expecting a tough encounter.

"I know they are not going well at the moment but that doesn't mean that the game will be any less tough.

"We are going to have to be 100% professional in the job we do and I'm sure that we will get the right result.

"I'm not sure what the situation is with the Loughgall game but if they don't play then it's a chance for us to extend our lead.

"Of course we will have to make sure we beat Glebe but if we do then we can open up a bit more of a gap between us.

"It's good to get the points on board and I know from my playing days that their certainly is a psychological effect in being in front.

"It will be good to see how those teams react to being further behind but at the end of the day we will just have to look after ourselves.

"There is no point in focusing on how the other teams are doing if we are not winning. We have to make sure we continue to win and that's all we can do," said Kearney.

Going into the game Trevor Hutchinson is still missing and it will be another few weeks before he will be available to play.

John Neill will be added to the squad after he missed out last weekend due to a registration mix-up.
