BelTel Sport: Linfield and Cliftonville set to face off in tense Irish Cup Final

Tickets for the Cup Final in Windsor Park sold out within hours

Linfield and Cliftonville are set to play in front of a sold-out Windsor Park on Saturday

This Saturday's Irish Cup Final sees Cliftonville play Linfield at a sold-out Windsor Park.

It's the first time the two giants of Irish League football have clashed in the Blue Ribbon Final since 1934.

With tickets selling out in just a few hours, it’s set to be one of the most eagerly anticipated cup finals in a generation.

However, the build-up has not been without controversy, with a security bill for the final expected to exceed £50,000.

This season has seen a rise in antisocial behaviour at games with several clubs hit with sanctions. The Irish FA has confirmed its intention to play God Save the King before kick-off.

Keith Bailie is joined by Belfast Telegraph chief sportswriter Steven Beacom, ex-Linfield manager David Jeffrey and Belfast Telegraph sports journalist Conor McLaughlin.
