INSTITUTE return to the Riverside Stadium tomorrow on the back of two excellent results on the road and the Drumahoe club seek their first league victory at home when they entertain lowly Dungannon Swifts. (Kick off 3.00 p.m).
The Waterside men secured a share of the spoils at the Newry Showgrounds last Saturday before claiming their first away win of the season - a shock 1-0 victory at Mourneview Park against Glenavon on Tuesday night - and manager, John Gregg will be aim
ing to take full advantage of the recent run of good form with another positive result on home soil.
‘Stute had enjoyed an unbeaten home record before the 1-0 defeat to Cliftonville in their last outing at the Riverside, but another three points tomorrow over Harry Fay’s side could move them into sixth position.
“If we follow Tuesday night’s victory over Glenavon with a win against Dungannon then we could possibly move up to sixth, that’s how tight the league is this season,” claimed Gregg.
“However, we know it’s going to be tough against a Dungannon side which did well against Glentoran and only a few weeks ago were seconds away from beating Linfield.”
Leading goalscorer, Paul Brown, returned to the squad against Glenavon after sustaining an ankle injury and he is expected to start again tomorrow.
Mark Scoltock and Kevin Ramsey have returned to training this week following long term injuries and could be included in the squad.
