Eight players have left Shamrock Park during off season with Jamie Rea, Alex Moore, Divin Isamala and Rayhaan Tulloch joining the believing that his side will be competitive, Currie has acknowledged the need for new facilities at the County Armagh side."We have got to hang on here and stay in the Premiership until we get into a situation where we can move to a hybrid model and get a new pitch to give us a chance," Currie continued."I am Portadown man since I was born and the town needs new facilities and fingers crossed we'll get a bit of good news."If we can get that in, then it changes a lot for us.

'Hibs in dreamland' - what did the pundits say about Belgrade win?
Former Hibs midfielder Michael Stewart on BBC SportsoundIt's a side that have not played loads of European football but the team showed a lot of composure and round away performance from Hibs in Europe, it had a bit of everything Defensively sound, they never really looked in danger. The midfield were working their backsides off and building the game fairly well.I think David Gray will come away from that so happy with where his team are and recognising they've got a great opportunity of getting through to the play-off manager Tony Docherty on BBC SportsoundIt's a brilliant night for Scottish football, two fantastic away results. Hopefully they can finish the job off next Hibs performance was such a mature one for a Scottish team going away from home against an opponent with real did a job on them, they did what they had to do and they made Partizan look like an inexperienced team. The real plaudits go to a real mature Hibs midfielder Scott Allan on BBC SportsceneThat is a fantastic result for Hibs, that man Martin Boyle again. Hibs will be really confident taking that result back to Easter Road next playing with a real confidence, they don't seem like they'll give up a lot of chances, you really need to work to get a goal against Hibs so they should be really confident about next week. Former Falkirk & St Mirren midfielder Ryan Flynn on BBC's Scottish Football PodcastI think Hibs are just in dreamland at the moment. They did so well against Midtjylland and coming into this game I think a lot of people wrote them off going away to Partizan, in Belgrade, a hostile environment, and they just was a cool performance, calculated. Obviously Partizan get the man sent off but Hibs took full advantage of that. Patrizan had a little bit of pressure towards the end but Hibs stood firm. Obviously David Gray will say it's half time but I think everyone's looking forward to hopefully progressing through to the play-off round.

Ibrox summer recruit branded 'potential star signing'
The Ibrox hero has been impressed by the former Sheffield Wednesday winger after his Champions League heroics in the qualifying rounds. Gassama, 21, already has four goals for Rangers since his move north of the border. He scored on his debut against Panathinaikos, again in the away leg and then notched a brace against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night. Boyd insists the winger still has progress to make at Rangers, exemplified by his outing against Motherwell in the league opener. However, he is excited by the prospect of Gassama's development at Rangers as he suggested the player has the ability to become a star signing at Ibrox. "I think the lad from Sheffield Wednesday, Gassama, is the best of the lot so far," Boyd told in an exclusive interview before the Plzen match. Read more: "He's shown in two European games already that he's got something. Two goals, two great finishes. "I think on Saturday you could tell that he needs games to develop, but he looks like a potential star signing for Rangers. "But there's a long way to go for him, and the other signings too. Gassama would be the one who I think has a great future ahead of him if he stays focused. "[Nasser] Djiga, who came in from Wolves, has also impressed me a lot, so there are a couple of players who have already shown they have what it takes to be successful in a short period of time. "But they're going to be judged on winning trophies. They can be exceptional individual performers, but they need to help the team, and everyone will be judged at the end of the season on whether they actually won something."
