Speaking before Rooney departed Larne on Monday, Magilton said he was impressed with their performance in a scoreless draw away from home and has urged his players to step it up a level from Saturday's draw against the Bannsiders."They (Larne) are an outstanding team, had a wonderful result in Europe in terms of away performance," he told BBC Sport NI."They are going to be fresh and ready for us, but so will we. We're at home, we have to go again and show the same sort of character we showed today and the same tenacity. We have to play better with the ball because we have quality players."We are going to need the backing of our supporters because there will be a few tired bodies."Larne have had the upper hand recently against Cliftonville, winning four of the past league encounters. The Reds, however, came out on top when they last locked horns in January's BetMcLean Cup semi-final.

Magilton criticises 'erratic' referee display in draw
Cliftonville manager Jim Magilton criticised referee Chris Morrison's "erratic decision-making" in his side's 0-0 draw with Coleraine at Reds picked up their first point of the season in a hard-fought encounter with the Bannsiders, but Magilton was frustrated they were not awarded a late Jarvis produced a super hooked clearance from a ball that Joe Gormley looked destined to turn home at the back post, but Magilton felt the defender fouled the Reds striker."Dean Jarvis, it's a remarkable clearance but there is an initial foul, and the referee wasn't brave enough to do it [give a penalty]," Magilton told BBC Sport NI."I thought on the day his erratic decision-making flamed things a little bit. He was so inconsistent for both teams."Ryan Curran wasted Cliftonville's best chance when he failed to guide home Eric McWoods' cross, but Magilton was pleased with his side's response to last week's defeat against Bangor."We can do better with the ball, and we will, but in terms of showing determination to get a result today we did that," he added."We defended for our lives; we can do better but we had moments. We had great opportunities, but we were a little bit wasteful."
