Cliftonville legend Ryan Catney gets standing ovation in final home league game

Cliftonville legend Ryan Catney bid what could be his final farewell to Solitude this afternoon.

It was announced this week that Catney will leave the Reds at the end of the season .

It will bring the curtain down on a glorious 12-year spell with the North Belfast club.

Catney started Saturday's derby showdown with Crusaders, which Cliftonville won 2-0 thanks to two Ryan Curran goals.

Barry Johnston insists former teammate Ryan Catney will be a 'cracking signing' for any club  

The midfield general was replaced by Niall Grace in the 78th minute.

He was carried off the pitch by rapturous applause from the fans inside Solitude, as seen here:

Today was Cliftonville's last home Premiership fixture of the season, but the Reds are also set to feature in the Europa League playoffs.
