Dungannon Swifts entertain Portadown in tonight's Setanta Cup Group 2 clash at Stangmore Park, kick-off 7.30pm.

Both sides will be looking to bounce back from last week's hammerings, Swifts going down 5-0 to St Patrick's Athletic, while Portadown were on the receiving end of a 7-0 thumping from Cork City.

However, Swift's manager, Harry Fay believes that his side may still progress to this year's semi-finals

"It is a big ask, but if we beat Portadown we could still be in contention," said Fay.

"If we win, and Cork lose to St Pat's, then we can go to Cork in the final match knowing victory will take us through."

Swifts have a fully-fit squad to choose from for tonight's encounter.

Portadown are still missing club captain, John Convery who remains out with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
