Ruaidhri Higgins watched Coleraine beat Linfield on Saturday

  • Published

Coleraine boss Ruaidhri Higgins is relishing Saturday's final day of the Premiership season with the Bannsiders one of three sides in the hunt for the title.

Larne lead the way, three points clear of Coleraine and the Glens so a draw against Dungannon Swifts would be enough to secure the Gibson Cup.

But if Larne lose then it opens the door for the chasing duo, who meet at the Showgrounds in what could become a title decider.

Coleraine moved up to second on Saturday as they chalked up a fifth straight league win thanks to a 3-0 victory over Linfield at Windsor Park.

It's also now just one defeat in their last 13 Premiership games for the Irish Cup finalists.

"From early January we've been on a fantastic run in all competitions and we just want to keep that momentum going," said Higgins.

"It's a home game and our home form has been exceptional this season. It's a big game for both clubs and mathematically Larne are not champions so it makes for an interesting day.

"I think it's brilliant for the league and I think the league has been ultra competitive this season.

"I think it's going to keep on improving year on year."
