“When you go down to 10 men against the league champions and you get the win it proves everything.

“After we lost Hegsy at 1-0 it was backs against the walL stuff, but fortunately we were able to score another three goals which won us the match.

“The sending off changed the game but as I say we kicked on from there.

Cliftonville fought back late on but as I say thankfully we held on as I don’t think any of us wanted extra time especially on that pitch.

“It’s a great win for us, Cliftonville are a fantastic team, but we played very well tonight and thankfully we are through to the next round,” added McDaid.
