Gerard Lyttle says Larne are the club Cliftonville must work to emulate as they prepare to host the Irish Premiership champions on Friday.
Cliftonville go into Friday's match, which is live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website, third in the Irish Premiership table despite two defeats in their last four gamesCliftonville assistant boss Gerard Lyttle says Larne are the club the Reds must aim to emulate as they prepare to host the Irish Premiership champions in Friday night's big league encounter at Solitude.
Larne's achievement in becoming the first Northern Ireland club to reach the league or group stages of a European competition has meant a fixtures backlog in the early part of their attempt to earn a third successive Irish Premiership title. Asked to comment on last weekend's Ballymena display, Lyttle responded: "We were really disappointed as a group, not just the staff. The players were disappointed and rightly so
"We played some really good football in the game against Linfield. The way Jim wants us to play and the way the players can play. "It’s a game we’re looking forward to and we always like to test ourselves. We’ll learn so much from it in terms of where we are as a group."
