Cliftonville's last Irish Cup win was 45 years ago, before any of the current Cliftonville squad were even born
Rory Hale insists Cliftonville will not be getting bogged down by their long winless run in the Irish Cup as they prepare to face Linfield in Saturday's final.
"That's the motivation in itself to go and do that, but for the players it's really just on to the next game we've done that from pre-season right through to now and I don't think anything will change." "My da keeps reminding me he was there in 1979, but he's brought me to three cup finals since and we've lost them all.
“It doesn’t weigh on your mind because I think the same questions were probably asked ahead of the Larne semi-final, it’s about who turns up on the day," he said.
