Larne interim manager Gary Haveron says his side will need to be back to its best when they host Crusaders in Tuesday night's rearranged Irish Premiership game at Inver Park.

The Invermen made it four league wins in a row and four successive clean sheets in achieving those victories when they saw off bottom-of-the-table Glenavon 1-0 on Saturday.

Mark Randall had his penalty saved by Jacob Carney just after the half-hour mark but central defender Matthew Ridley headed in the winner for the east Belfast side nine minutes from time to condemn the Lurgan Blues to a seventh straight defeat.

"The performance maybe wasn't everything I wanted it to be but the boys found a way to win and that's a really good trait to have as a team," Haveron told BBC Sport NI after the game.

"You've got to keep on asking questions and keep knocking on the door.

"We got the all-important goal and another clean sheet."

Crusaders bounced back from their recent indifferent form by clinching a 3-0 win at Dungannon Swifts on Saturday and Haveron is expecting a difficult task against Declan Caddell's team.

"They are maybe not quite as direct as they once were but you know what the Crues are about. You know what Deccie's about.

"He'll want his players fully committed and going at it.

"They'll take confidence from their win at Dungannon as the Swifts were coming off their first win the previous week, so we know it's going to be a really tough ask.

"We'll have to be back to our best. I'm expecting a better level of performance than we got against Glenavon but if we get the same result I'll be just as happy."
