Back in December, the 'Gers twice came from behind thanks to goals from Danny Gibson and Paul Heatley before Aidan Steele netted in the closing minutes to give Carrick the lead. Dungannon would respond with the last kick of the game, Sean McAllister grabbing his second of the day to earn the Swifts a point.
It has been a historical week for Carrick Rangers after sealing their first senior trophy in 33 years on Tuesday night, defeating Cliftonville 4-2 on penalties to lift the County Antrim Shield. Stephen Baxter will be hoping his men can extend their unbeaten run to five games on Saturday, with another strong performance against the Swifts.
Dungannon Swifts arrive having won their last 2 games, defeating Ballymena United last Saturday at Stangmore Park, with goals from Kealan Dillon and Junior Ogedi-Uzokwe..
