Reds hoping to overturn one-goal deficit as they face FK Auda in UEFA Conference League qualifier
Jim Magilton has called on his Cliftonville side to be "more courageous" as they bid to overturn a one-goal deficit against FK Auda and keep their European dream alive.
Magilton feels there were plenty of positives for his side to take from last week's game, but he has challenged his players to be braver tonight. “I think we can show more courage," said Magilton.

“The two goals we conceded – no matter what level you’re at – were bad goals, really bad goals. In a game where those margins are very, very tight, that can’t happen. I felt that we had opportunities from set pieces and if we crossed from good areas, I think we could have hurt them a little bit more than we did.
Another big plus for the Reds was getting Ryan Curran back out on the pitch again after a season of frustration last year due to injury. Curran's return carries extra significance given the news that captain Rory Hale is set to be out for an extended spell due to the ankle ligament injury he picked up in the Charity Shield clash against Larne.
