Â
It took a penalty shoot-out to separate the two sides in the Irish Cup last year, and Coleraine and Cliftonville go head-to-head again in BBC Sport NI’s live fifth round tie on this evening, Friday 5 January.
Â
The Clearer Water Irish Cup encounter will be streamed live on BBC iPlayer and online on the BBC Sport NI website.
Â
Cliftonville edged out Coleraine in last year’s sixth round, winning 3-1 on penalties after they were locked at 2-2, but couldn’t progress beyond the quarter-finals.
Coleraine will hope home advantage gives them the edge this time around against a Cliftonville side currently sitting third in the Irish Premiership and will aim to reverse the 1-2 score line when they met at the Showgrounds in October.
Â
Coleraine v Cliftonville will be streamed live on BBC iPlayer and www.bbc.co.uk/sportni on Friday 5 January 2024. Kickoff at 7:45pm.
