It has been a big week for Mid Ulster rivals Portadown and Glenavon.

The Ports picked up only their third victory of the league season with a 95th minute winner at Solitude on Saturday, while Glenavon slumped to a 9th straight defeat in the Premiership which brought about the decision to part ways with manager Paddy McLaughlin.

As both clubs prepare for a big derby clash at Shamrock Park, we bring you insight from Ports first team coach John McAllister and Colin Coates, who was part of the backroom team at the Lurgan Blues until last weekend.
