Summary

  1. Over and outpublished at 19:42 British Summer Time 26 April

    That's it from us on the final day of the regular Irish Premiership season as Larne secured the point they needed to clinch second place and the automatic qualification berth for the Uefa Conference League.

    Cliftonville sealed the seventh spot which guarantees them a place in the end-of-season play-offs should they fail to defeat Dungannon Swifts in next Saturday's Irish Cup final.

    Elsewhere there were wins for Coleraine, Dungannon Swifts, Glenavon and Portadown.

    We'll be back with coverage of the play-offs and of course the Irish Cup final but for now it's goodbye from us. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

    Larne 0-0 Glentoran

    Larne's players have returned to the pitch to take a well-earned ovation from the home fans.

    After their European exploits this season, the Invermen will have more continental action next term.

    Larne 0-0 Glentoran

    Now that the dust has finally settled, the upshot is that Larne have finished second and secured automatic European qualification.

    Glentoran will have to take their chances in the European play-offs - and they may well be without several players as a result of red cards issued after the final whistle.

    Larne 0-0 Glentoran

    The disturbances have continued down the players' tunnel.

    Really unsavoury scenes at the end of such an important fixture.

  5. RED CARDpublished at 19:27 British Summer Time 26 April

    Larne 0-0 Glentoran

    There have now been at least three red cards after the final whistle and the confrontations have begun again.

  6. FULL-TIMEpublished at 19:27 British Summer Time 26 April

    Coleraine 1-0 Linfield

    All over at the Showgrounds where Rhyss Campbell's ninth goal of the season seals a hard-earned 1-0 win.

    Campbell broke the deadlock with a spectacular strike from distance just before the break and that was how it stayed to the end.

    The Blues had their chances, mainly through Callumn Morrison and Joshua Archer, but found Coleraine 'keeper Max Little in defiant mood.

  7. FULL-TIMEpublished at 19:25 British Summer Time 26 April

    Portadown 2-1 Ballymena United

    No goals in the second half and Portadown secure three points at Shamrock Park.

    It has been somewhat of a fortress this season with the Ports boasting the second best home record in the Irish premiership behind champions Linfield.

    Despite a win today, there is no seventh place finish for Niall Currie's side as Cliftonville thrash Loughgall 4-1.

    This result means Ballymena United finish in nineth with the Ports in eighth.

  8. Postpublished at 19:25 British Summer Time 26 April

    Coleraine 1-0 Linfield

    Matthew Shevlin es up an opportunity to double Coleraine's lead deep in added time.

  9. FULL-TIMEpublished at 19:24 British Summer Time 26 April

    Larne 0-0 Glentoran

    The full-time whistle goes and there is mayhem on the pitch with all sorts of confrontations between players.

    Referee Jamie Robinson has brandished a red card but it's impossible to say who the recipient is.

  10. Postpublished at 19:24 British Summer Time 26 April

    Coleraine 1-0 Linfield

    Was that Linfield's last chance?

    Kirk Millar delivers a free-kick into the heart of the Coleraine defence, Matthew Fitzpatrick gets in front of his marker but flashes his header wide of the post.

  11. Postpublished at 19:23 British Summer Time 26 April

    Larne 0-0 Glentoran

    Finley Thorndike's shot is saved by Rohan Ferguson and Shaun Want makes a crucial intervention to deny Nathaniel Ferris from the rebound.

    Linfield manager David Healy is shown a yellow card by referee Tony Clarke as he protests against Scot Whiteside's dismissal.

  17. FULL-TIMEpublished at 19:20 British Summer Time 26 April

    Loughgall 1-4 Cliftonville

    All over at Lakeview and Cliftonville warm up well for next weekend's Irish Cup final with a comfortable win.

    Joe Gormley’s double set the tone, with Alex Parsons and Ryan Curran adding the late gloss as the Reds ran out comfortable winners.

    Loughgall grabbed a penalty through Ryan Waide, but it’s a small consolation on a day when Jim Magilton’s men simply had too much quality.

  18. INJURY TIMEpublished at 19:20 British Summer Time 26 April

    Portadown 2-1 Ballymena United

    Four minutes of additional time have been awarded at Shamrock Park.

    Can the Ports hold on or do the Sky Blues have another equaliser in them?

  19. RED CARDpublished at 19:19 British Summer Time 26 April

    Coleraine 1-0 Linfield

    The afternoon goes from bad to worse for the league champions as Scot Whiteside is shown a second yellow for pulling back Matthew Shevlin and is sent off by referee Tony Clarke.

  20. CLOSE!published at 19:19 British Summer Time 26 April

    Dungannon Swifts 1-0 Crusaders

    Oilibhear McCart's effort is denied by Alex Henderson with Josh O'Connor's follow-up strike headed off the line by Dylan King.

    What a chance that was and we're now into four minutes of additional time.
